*If I were a poem
I’d ask you to fold me up
and put me in your pocket,
then at the end of the week,
toss me in the wash
with the rest of the clothes

And when you find me later,
smudged and smeared,
ripped and tattered into
little unrecognizable pieces,
don’t worry about it,
I was already like that
I have been notified that this poem was plagiarized and posted on Poetfreak by someone using the name Blurry Face. I can assure you, this is my poem.

I am addicted to sadness
But I really need to let it go
But it's tied a brick to my foot
And it's pulling me into the darkness below.
I walked into the house
And what did I see
The most beautiful three year old
looking back at me

She stole my heart
The first time that she spoke
She never gave it back to me
Trust this is no joke

Your mom and I got married
Exactly one year later
To have you as my daughter
Nothing could be greater

Running behind the bike
You seemed to go so fast
Watching you grow up
Surely was a blast

I instilled in you
Your love for classic rock
I really enjoyed the times
That we found to talk

Then you got married
To this guy named Joey
Gave two granddaughters
One Camryn, one Chloe

As I grow older
Through my fingers slipping the years
I'm proud of the woman you've become
It makes my eyes fill with tears

When my life is over
When I finally reach the end
I'll always be watching over you
On this you can depend

I will
                                                       separate
                                                      the truth
                                                 from your lies

                                                          I will
                                                       fantasize
                                                     that we are
                                                   friends forever

                                                        ­  I will
                                                         devour
                                                       the night
                                                 until day breaks

                                                          I will
                                                          wa­ke
                                                     to navigate
                                                   my life alone

                                                          I will
                                                         protect
                                                   my shrinking
                                                       ­  dignity

                                                        ­  I will
                                                         survive
                                                  these moments
                                                         ­ so say ...

                                                     *good-bye
Betrayal comes. Life Remains.

      boast
         how
            you
            won't
         dislike
      death,
   only
dying
