Mark Poem by Meghan McElroy

Mark oh Mark
I miss you so
I wish I hadn’t left
I knew you did nothing
I still have your letters
I’ve read every single one
It breaks my heart to see
The birds and the bees
I didn’t want to leave
Mark...I love you
Even if you were high above
I didn’t even say goodbye
Or give you a good reason why?
Someday
I might come back
But I highly doubt that
I don’t want to have to see your face
I know you’d cry
I would too
Mark....
You were my only love
Nobody could ever forget a guy like you
On the way to Ohio
I thought of you
I imagined you holding me
It was the best
After that
I couldn’t rest
I love you Mark
My life feels done
I want you
Forever and ever
But
That won’t happen
