You stood there looking at me

I saw your skin slowly turning green

Why did you have to eat that poisonous tree

You should have known there was no vaccine

But you had to go be carefree

You didn’t have to put on that scene


I watched as you fell down

As the sky turned grey

You turned into the talk of the town

This has been some May

At least you didn’t have to see my meltdown

I think I’ve fallen astray

 

There you go again

Leaving me to cry

Messing with my brain

I don’t want to say goodbye

 

I’m thinking over all our memories

While I’m here with my piece of celery

You may be gone but at least I have Eleri

We’ll cry together watching your documentary


I remember your rabbit hutch

Who knew I could miss someone so much

I really hope we stay in touch

I don’t think I’ll need a crutch

 

There you go again

Leaving me to cry

Messing with my brain

I don’t want to say goodbye


The author's comments:

This piece was inspired by real life occurances and how they made me feel at that time, but it was altered so many people could also relate and it wasn't only specifically for my feelings. The reader can change the meanings for the words and make it suit them and how they feel at that time.
