Ten Years Poem by Alixis Whitwer

It's been ten years since I've seen your face
You just left without a trace
I've been hating you for leaving
I always thought if you came back
Everything would be perfect
But after ten years I know better
I know you're not coming back
I know you've finally disappeared
I know now that I have to live without you'
After ten years of hating you for dying
I found out that waiting for you
Would all just be a lie
I can survive without you
I only wish you could be proud of me
Like you used to be
But it's been ten years
