Years Gone By

One year gone
You had me bawling like a baby
My face was never dry
From the tears of my memory

Two years gone
Not much has changed
Except that there's a hole
And it caused me pain

Three years gone
Many tears have I cried
Every night when i needed sleep
But I couldn't 'cause of what I felt inside

Four years gone
I wrote many poems for you
Though I knew you wouldn't read them
Every word was true

5 years gone
The poem I wrote was from the bottom of my heart
It got published in a book
But that was just the start

6 years gone
You should see all the poems I've done
5 books later
And the best is yet to come

7 years gone
I'm starting to grow stronger
I'm starting to face the fact
That i don't need you any longer

More years I'm sure are yet to come
And I guess I'll face each year as I go on
Because I'm going to keep writing
I'm going to keep strong
Maybe one day you'll see the man I've become
