You are nothing to me

But you are my everything

There's nothing to see

I'm just dissolving

I'm like crushed gold sifting through your fingers

But you thought I was sand so you tossed me aside

I'm on my own now but the feeling still lingers

Of you tossing me out to the waters so wide

My ashes

Will scatter

My poems

Won't matter

By the time I become

Mad as a hatter

I hoped you could save me

But you just waved me

Away

And said

Goodbye

Without telling me why

But I know why, don't worry

I'll give you your space

After all, who would be with

A total Basket Case?
