I know you are all here,
all together,
without me.
I know its not your fault,
It's mine,
even though I can't
stop it.
I know you are having fun,
starting again,
another year.
I know that I miss you,
sitting my myself
without someone to talk to.
all together,
without me.
I know its not your fault,
It's mine,
even though I can't
stop it.
I know you are having fun,
starting again,
another year.
I know that I miss you,
sitting my myself
without someone to talk to.

There is such poignancy to this poem. It is the saddest of things to read, but there is a beauty there too. The opening stanza has a sense of accusation which you qualify in the second stanza, but the emotion has changed at the end. I like the ambiguity - has this person died? Moved away? Or are they exiled within their own depression? I hope the narrator finds a way back to talking with these people! Lovely work.
