After The Catastrophe Poem by Dyhanara Rios

After The Catastrophe



You let me down;
You were always there
To listen and to care,
But when I needed you the most,
You faded away into thin air.

You let me down
When I needed you that day.
You were standing in the shadows
And less than ten feet from the fray.
You saw the disaster unfold;
You were there to behold
A moment of catastrophe,
And you had the chance to save me.

You’ve had your chance to save me.

You let me down,
So I’ll let you go.
I thought you were actually something,
Yet I feel like I’m letting go of nothing.

I won’t stand in your shadow;
I won’t go forth and follow
You and your life
And your empty, awful lies.

And as these tears rise
From the depths of my eyes,
It’s still such a surprise
That even after the catastrophe,
And after your chance to save me,
You still let me fall to demise.
