Poem : The Last Goodbye

The morning was just like the rest
The usual routine
I didn’t know it was to be
The last time you’d be seen

You left the house as usual
I thought that you’d return
I didn’t know your car would crash
And that your corpse would burn

We hadn’t had an argument
For that I can be grateful
There was no sign of raw disputes
Or conversations hateful

But that just doesn’t change the fact
That death has come to greet you
It spun your car off of the road
And ventured to unseat you

I sit at home, alone right now
Remembering our life
Remembering the good, the bad,
Of you being my wife

The memories hit home, they hurt,
They bring tears to my eye
As I recall that gentle kiss
That spelt our last goodbye.
