Why did you leave me ?

South-by-Southwest Poems

The poem was titled "Why did you leave me?" Another boo hoo love gone wrong poem I said to myself , "Let me see I'm sure it goes like this": Woke up fell out of bed (Beatles) "All by myself" "Céline Dion" "I can't live if living is without you" (Bee Gees) Yeah , I can smell the classic heartbreak song like a skunk hit by a Mac truck And what's worse is the people who will ogle over it and praise it saying : "I so relate to this poem" "Thank you for sharing " adding to another collection ! Humph ! I'm lucky . All my broken hearts came cheap . No bomb exploding inside inside the house blowing away half the family . No children drowned crossing the sea . No wife sacrificing herself for her family . No I was lucky Just girls and women dumping me because I had to work on weekends Or I smacked my lips while eating Or the ever used , no reason at all Yeah , they left with everything intact No blown up house No babies lying on a beach Everything intact but my sanity For two cents you can have that Maybe I will read that poem anyway Every breakup is unique And real Just maybe it will touch my soul
