Miss Me When I'm Gone Poem by Raymond Isaacs

It kills me that you have someone
And still act as if nothing is wrong.
Me standing in as his clone
When the distance between you gets too long.
Here I am trying to hold on
And pretending to be strong.
When you just could have told me
That in his arms is where you belong.

So I still held onto you
Even though I was second best.
In the army of your men
I blended in with the rest.
So I thought if I'd stand out
I would have passed the test.
Guess I was wrong
I'm nothing special or blessed

I was always there
When you needed a shoulder to cry on.
I promised to care
If you needed someone to rely on.
It was in a dream world
That I imagined you as my own.
But I'm telling you now
You will miss me when I'm gone...
