Stolen Goodbye

in memory

I read those words today,
the ones I wrote for you once.
Words that
would have never been written
if you were still here.
And I began to cry,
out loud,
alone,
in my bedroom.

I remembered that day,
how goodbye was
stolen away from me
and the tears
wouldn’t stop falling.

I wondered if
you could see me crying.
I wanted you to.
I wanted my tears to say
what I didn’t get to.

I love you

Because
if you could see me
if you could somehow
feel my pain-
you would just know.

And I wouldn’t have to live
with that stolen goodbye
and all of these pages
full of weeping words.
