Early Works - Away From Me Poem by David Harris

The candle flickers away
as night turns into day
and with the morning
comes my sorrows
that there will be no tomorrows.
The love I had is gone
as my world turned upside down
and she’ll not be coming around
now that she’s gone.
I gave her everything
anyone could ever wish for,
but it seems I didn’t give enough.
Another unfurled his arms around her
and she ran to his charms
and away from me.
