The Last Poem by Steven Brewer

Another day gone
Another page turned
Another bell has rung
Another bridge has been burned
Single or taken, forgotten or famed
Stupid or smart it all just the same
Another locker door slammed
Another race for the bus
We all miss that one person
who does not miss us
Another dark night
Another cold bed
A million other places
I'd rather be instead
One last dream gone
One last cold drink
The last thing I want to do
Is lay down and think
