Love Poem: Gone

Gone

Gone is the person who,
could make me laugh,
replaced by a person
who can fuel my tears…

Gone is the person who
knew how to caress me,
replaced by a person 
who’s afraid to touch me… 

Gone is the person who
understood me,
replaced by a person 
who questions me…

Gone is the person who
use to look at me with love in his eyes,
replaced by a person whose
eyes are filled with hatred…

Gone is the person who 
gave me flowers just because,
replaced by a person who
gives me nothing…

You use to say you love me
every  day,
you use to say you care…
you said you’d give me world,
guess what I got today??

I got flowers
I even got some tears…
I got love
I got some laughter
A little sadness too
But mostly you’re pretending
To be grieving husband 
I know you’d never be…

I’m happy where I’m at..
No fear
Of when the next storm will
Erupt.
No fear 
about being hit or punched…

I am not afraid 
To breathe again
Even though I am 
DEAD!!!
