Gone Poem by Jasmine Ramos

This morning as you walked out the door
You told me not to worry anymore
You said you'd be back, and I believed you.
But as the hours passed on
And night turned to dawn
I realized you weren't coming back.

You'd forgotten me, forsaken me
You'd left me there to die
But somehow you couldn't understand
The reason why I cried.
As you were gone I longed for you
I thought of your face and the way you smiled
And I just sat there for a while.
Thinking of the things you used to do
And thinking of the person that I knew.
The person that I used to know.
The one who decided to go.

I decided to leave
And stepped into the street
But then I heard a scream
And I realized it was me
The car was coming towards me fast
And I knew I wasn't gonna last
I tried to run
But my legs wouldn't move.
The car hit me and it all went black
My thoughts turned to you
As my head fell back
And I realized you weren't coming back.
