End

You don't realize how much you
love
          anything
Until you let it go.
It's not such a 
Huge
part of you
until it's        only
                                           not.
Until you stop breathing
because it's not 
             there
                               anymore.
I hate the final 
of 
forever
Hate the silence
left by 
                      Gone.
Doesn't matter if you're
finished
when someone else says

  1. Lovely - and heartbreakingly true. I like this line particularly, "It's not such a Huge part of you until it's only not."

  2. Thank you for reading and commenting! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. This is, I think, one of my favorite poems that I've written. You also picked out one of my favorite lines. :)
