11 Days Poem by Caroline Bulleck

11 days
Longest you were gone
In Florida with friends,
You called me and messaged me everyday
I missed you, but knew you were coming back
11 days
Longest you were gone
But you're not with friends
There's been no messages or calls
You're not here anymore. You're dead.
You're not coming back
And tomorrow makes 12 days
The longest you've been gone
Learning to live without you isn't easy
When everyday is the longest you've been gone
