Sad Poem

Its such a feeling when they drive away

You were just with them and now they’re just red taillights and memories

What was inches is now yards and now blocks and now gone

Every minute off all the years try to flood back

But no brain can handle that

It’s just too much candy

A kid’ll get sick from too many Halloweens

You asked her if she wanted to see your purple velvet suit

Sure!

She loved it but, you know, it’s too heavy for summer.

It’s a winter suit

The last thing she told you after “I love you”

Was please stop drinking

You said you would

But you didn’t

You just just keep going

You just keep being you

You just keep watching taillights fade into the dark.
