You Mean Nothing Poem by Angel Valdez

After looking back
i realized that i meant nothing to you.
everything you said to me was never true.
and for that i cant blame you.
lies come and go...
pain comes and goes...
You and I were so close.

Tell me how it got this way
I guess you were right though our love
did start to decay...
i know i promised you friendship
after all of this...
But it just can't go your way again.

Forget me...
Dont think of me...
walk by me and think of me as a stranger.
Dont look back.
Just walk away...
After all, you're so good at giving up
and saying goodbye.

As time goes on and we reflect
On the things we’ve said and done;
The places we’ve been, the people we’ve met
And we think of all the fun.
We realize the marks we leave in life
Aren’t made of stone or steel
But rather of the lives we’ve touched
And how we make folks feel.
For people are far more valuable
Than achievements great and high,
Than cars or planes or space shuttles
Or buildings reaching to the sky.
You and I can leave our mark in life
By doing all we can
To serve and praise and uplift
The lives of children, women and men
