Poem: My Last Week
by Grace Peterson
I hold you longer,
hug you tighter.
I linger on the lips
and the deep stares into your eyes.
I'll miss everything,
every part of you.
We'll be best friends!
Like the relationship between us
never happened.
It was never special enough
to keep within our hearts.
I'll love you and miss you
with all that I have left in my soul
and by the end of
my last week,
I'll put my heart back in its chest
and throw away the key.
I'll hope that one day
someone will find it
and help me to feel again
