Already Gone
If you're reading this
I'm already gone
Try to understand
I did my best
What's done is done
A life time wasted
Lost and wondering
My deepest regrets
I think you know
Emptied my soul
If you're reading this
Know no one loved you more
You were my final thought
But you're already better off
Now that I'm gone

Don't worry...
I saw her on Tuesday afternoon. She brought my granddaughters over for a visit. She has written as though she were someone who doesn't have any other options, and her intent was to harm herself, but I know better. She wouldn't do anything to deprive her kids of their mother. It is a really well-written poem that does get to you though. Nice job. Hopefully, we will see
more light-hearted stuff in the near future! ~ Geez.

Hi Gee
I am not quite as good at light hearted material but will give it a try. Thank you for the kind words and critique.
