No Longer There Poem by Randy McClave

If you're no longer in my life
As you was once before,
I decided to end the strife
That is the reason why that you now I ignore

I was once always there for you
But, you was never there for me,
And you know that's factual and that is true
Just look outside your window to see.

I am now in a much better place
Because, you are no longer here,
No longer does my heart hurt or cry or race
And now there's one less tear.

For you I was once always there
Whenever you ever said the word,
For you I once did truly care
But, when I needed help, my voice was never heard.
