You're always on my mind.
I know I left you behind
for acts of selfish bliss.
Now there's a void in me,
a hole in which you can't see
the darkening abyss.
I've come to know
you've always been my greatest friend.
From within my soul,
looked in your eyes and said that I
would be there for you
'til the very end.
But strayed and sinned,
Now I've made amends.
See what we can create?
Three precious gifts that my fate
has seemed to limit me.
The years are flying by.
It brings a tear to my eye,
progression I don't see.
I've come to learn
I'm missing the best parts of me.
Wheels fail to turn.
My incompletion pulls me down
toward the ground.
I'll fall eventually.
Was flying free,
But found gravity.
So are you happy now?
I just don't understand how
I'm easily replaced.
If I don't take a stand,
resolve the matters at hand,
I'm sure I'll be erased.
Although you've moved on,
you'll always be my greatest friend.
I hate that you're gone.
Look in my eyes and know that I
Will always be here
'til the very end.
These words I send
To my greatest friend.

About this poem:
This was actually a song I wrote to my ex wife. It explains how I realized later that I made a mistake after breaking it off with her for selfish reasons. We had three kids together, and they stayed with her after our split. The song tells how much I've missed out on in their lives from not being with them all the time. You miss a lot just being a weekend and holiday dad. Near the end of the song it shows how she moved on with her life and how I felt that we were done for good. One thing that we've kept through all of it though is our friendship, and we still remain best friends to this day. :)
