My love
You taught me much
About myself and life
Attempts to stave off loneliness since you’ve been gone
Have been futile to say the least
No one to make laugh or impress
Acting a fool in spite of your love
Rage about who I was
Confusion about who I am
Never about you and only about me
Selfish is what I am
Love for you has never left
Dreams are the real barometer
Just within reach but not close enough
Wishing you the best
You are better off without
Near no longer but still dear
Wrote this for you
Wrote this for me
Undeserving of the love you gave
My cross to bear
