A poem

by Yamila Johnson

This is a poem, to break your heart.

I hope you're prepared.

Two lovers, who could not be

Wanted to live together 

Make memories, create a family.

Unfortunately for them,

There was no way 

As the world did not give 

Them the time of day

Their families were moving away

Making them cut contact and 

Never get to say

Plenty of the things they wanted to

And what they felt those very days

They overestimated their time

And had no time left

They’d have to now mourn

And never be

They’d never have their family

This was a poem to break your heart…

Open. To never close it again 

Reminisce in the good times

Take advantage of the time you have

As you never know when it will end.

Open your heart, until the very end.
