Nothing Left Poem by Katrina Williams

The more I lie to myself inside
The more I realize what’s true
That everything I try to hide
Reveals what I thought I knew
And truths that I’ve denied-
That I won’t always be with you

Deep down somewhere I guess I knew
That this was always meant to happen
I never really thought it through
Too far away to matter then
But when I realize I’m not with you
Is when I’ll fall apart again

Too desperate for those useless tears
Gasping for one last final breath
We can’t hide from our fears
That after this there’s nothing left
