This poem is kind of based on the old addage of “just because you can see doesn’t mean you aren’t blind” and some real life experiences.
And So she’s gone
Left you after so long
For a time you sat and wondered
What had I done wrong?
Then one day she told you
Just what her problems were
You said OK I’ll be better
And told her there’s a home waiting for her
There was something she told you
That I don’t think you understand
She told you to find yourself
That she wanted some substance to her man
For one fault you’ve always had
That’s led you many a time to be mad
Is feeling sorry for yourself
And putting everyone else on the shelf
Even now you want her back
But can you honestly say
That it’s because you want what’s best for her
Or because you don’t want to live this way
And she gave you these goals
But you still want to end it all
Standing on death’s lonely shoals
Ready to take that fall
You want something to believe in
Then believe in yourself
You have all the pieces to the puzzle
Then put them together and make something of yourself!
