Life Without You
Write a poem or short story about what life would be like without the person you care about the most.
a lifetimes’ gone away
there’s no see you later, my love.
just a goodbye.
this dreaded day has come, the day i’m forever pained with your absence.
i’m out of breath twenty-four-seven gasping every molecule of your scent that lingered in the places we conversed at.
i remember telling you i hate goodbyes as much as “goodbye”,
“what a stupid concept”, there’s nothing good about the missing flesh in my heart when you go.
so we said “see you later”, i loved the irony of it.
the fact that i’d swim across the sea to see you again.
sea you later
i’m swimming in a pool of fears, tears. this is the end. i’m afraid our story ends as jack and rose.
the book has ended and i’m so afraid that i keep ripping out the ending pages so no one will know that ours isn’t a happy ending.
we have sunken, my titanic
so, sea you later and i suppose it’s really a goodbye.
i’ll miss you,
