TRAGIC Poem: Goodbye, Pumpkin Pie, by Patrick Faulkner

Goodbye
My Pumpkin Pie
You sweet delicious friend
I grant you reprieve
My delightful autumn treat
Before your final end

Even though
Im shutting the door slow
And letting the darkness in
Dream of me
As I dream of thee
Yearning to see you again

Try as I might
To make it through the night
Your tasty memory still lingerin’
Cream in my hand
Its three AM
Yet instead of tired, I’m grinnin’

I sit down with my plate
Somewhere between early and late
Listening to the red robin wakin’
Licking my lips
Warm milk I sip
A sinful treat I don’t regret bakin’

Sugar and dopamine
Pie and whipped cream
Happiness in the form of a chemical reaction
As the fluorescent light glows
My loneliness grows
You were just my delicate distraction

As I take the last bite
And wander into the dying night
Pensively pondering if you miss me
I tuck myself in
To a bed I’m not sharin’
Will I always be this lonely
