Didn't feel like coming up with a catchy title for this one, so I'm just naming it after the girl it's about.

I tried to close the book on you
But the last page was ripped out
Now I'll probably never know
How things might have turned out

Would it have gone any different
Had I stayed instead of left?
If I refused to leave your side
Until my dying breath?

I suppose the point is moot now
I see your last name's changed
To think of you with someone else
Is more than a little strange

I hope he keeps you happy
Well into your old age
But if he doesn't, look me up
Help me find that missing page.

I completely missed this when you first posted it somehow. I like it, post more often damn you!
Not that I can talk about not posting.

Anyways, is this supposed to be from your point of view? I was a little confused by the line about their last name being changed.

[piñata]

Yeah, it's from my point of view. And her last name did change in real life, which is why I put that in there... the poem was written the day I typed her name into Google to see what had happened to her since I last saw her 19 years ago.

Ah, you see, I read that line and thought it was about divorce...and I knew you weren't married, so I was a little confused.

It makes much more sense now. Good stuff.

[piñata]

Nope, no marriage (and definitely no divorce) here. I'd have to have less than three sexual partners a week to get to that point. And marriage would probably screw up the orgy on the 21st as well.

That's exactly the way I thought...except with a little less detail.
