(2002) After It's Over Poem by Deana Rode

After you say goodbye,
where do I go?
Your world has been my own
for such a long time.

After you stop loving me,
what should I do?
Every fiber in my soul
was dedicated to you.

After you walk away,
what will happen to me?
I'm nothing without your kiss,
only an empty shell.

After you disappear,
what becomes of my heart?
it vanished with you,
now I'm all alone.

After it's over,
I'll always remember the years:
every laugh, tear, and smile
will never leave my soul.
