A Response Poem

My heart is in despair currently as I write to commend you-
Because of mine and his goodbye, it is now breaking into two.

I only went to sleep three hours ago, and so late, because of the approaching goodbye-
And now I have woken with only two hours into slumber
and now question why...

Why am I awake? Why am I upset?
The fate that is in course will be met.

I am writing words in this way-
To commend you on a great write and to say
Thank you for your words of poetry delight
For now, I think I can finish my sleepy "night".

Author notes

I left this short poem as a comment to another poet. Their poem moved me, as I saw something similar in my life as that exhibited in their poem. It may not be wonderful and so talented, but it was fun...and I can return to my sleep now.
