Mean Something

Mean Something

A Poem by Haley Lynn Thomas
"

Every night I pray...that one day I'll mean something to you again...

"

I want you to have these

I want you to read them every day

To know the words so well

You can recite them in your sleep

 

I want you to have these

They’re all you have left of me

They’ll serve as your memories

And haunt you in your dreams

 

I want you to have these

Because I can’t look at them anymore

Every time I do I imagine your face

And another little piece of me breaks

 

I want you to have these

Because you deserve to know

The suffering I’ve endured for you

About the long nights I waited for you

 

I want you to have these

So you can know how I held my breath

How I fell asleep praying to God

For you to find your way home to me

 

I want you to have these

Because even though it’s unlikely

Deep down there’s still a chance

That one day I’ll mean something to you again
