I Miss You

A special poem about missing someone long after it is too late to make things right.

I Miss You
By Keaton Foster

I used to wonder
Where you had gone.
I would often scream,
How can this be?
"I miss you"
Is all I could say.
There was no reply,
No reason why.
Only nothing abounded,
Only nothing remains.
You have long since left me,
Left us all.
I remain, and so does the pain.
Your death changed nothing
Except one crucial thing:
Any chance for you and me
Has been torn asunder.
Regret fills my heart
Like a heavy stone.
I must bear the weight
Of chances missed
And decisions
I failed to make.
I refused to forgive you;
Now I refuse to forgive myself.
You grew old, and so have I.
For a lifetime of days,
We were strangers.
Now we are less.
*I miss you* is all I can say,
And I do, every day.
You will never reply.
In death, as in life,
You and I will never
Find a way to communicate.
"I miss you," and for that,
I am truly sorry…
