PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

By the time I had wiped the tears from my eyes

Pulled the dagger you placed in my heart

And looked at the bed that I now sleep in alone

I realized you didn’t leave yesterday

You’ve been gone

But I had me



Before the smile  and the kind words

And the I will love you forever

There was a lie in your heart

I had me

After the first crank phone call

And the midnight meetings

There was no trust

I had me

Before we stopped saying I love you

And I ate dinner alone

There was distance

But I had me



Before you came along and swept me off my feet

I had me

Before the lies and the heart ache

I had me

Before the depression set in and the loneliness began

I had me

And that has to be enough
