When You Are Alone

By tarnishedheart

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

When I am gone you will respect me when I remember where my priorities are and my sanity finds it's way home you will miss me When you are emotionally poor physically drained and mentally disturbed you will come looking for my comfort. You will not love me until I am gone you will not appreciate my worth until it does not support you anymore and the first night you reach over to find my warmth not there and you lay awake staring at the ceiling you will regret your misguided love. So when the first tear falls out of pure regret and you realize the loss you have brought on do not call me And as the second tear falls out of lonliness and you realize you are by yourself do not turn to me.
