Poem - You're Gone

[kokopelle]

I was inspired to write “You’re Gone” when I saw a Tumblr meme that said “I’ll Never Let You Go”.


You’re Gone

If I let you go
the world would
cease to spin
the sun never
rise again
beauty gone
eyes are closed
my breath remains
deep in lungs
the tears would
drown my heart
colors drain
all to black
direction lost
from the map
stars blanked
from the sky
night forever
I don’t care
I’m alone
so alone
hope abandoned
when you’re gone.
