Till It's Gone (C) 4-1-2010 Poem by Zahir Kijani

Never knew a day like this would come
I always associated forever with us
But even the day must end and night takes its place
What will I do without you
What will I be without you
It seems like these lights won’t turn on
But you don’t know what you got till it’s gone

Sorrow explodes vastly through my veins
Streaming into my brain then flowing back into my heart
No longer in pain from my own emotion
But for the hurt I’ve caused you
What do I do?
What should I feel?
It seems as though this day isn’t real
I have no excuse and nor will I try to hide
The pain that I’ve caused you inside

You stuck by me
Cried with me
Stayed by my side to see
The many different sides to me
But when it counted most
Sadly your heart died with me
I hate to know that I’m reason for your tears
And I’ll pay for this until my dying years
Because I love you so much but you’re moving on
I guess truly you don’t know what you’ve got
Until it’s gone.
