I won't be here forever
with that being said
Are you happy with the last words you said to me?

Or the time between talks
the distance in our walks
How would you feel if you never got to see me again?

Death can happen to anyone
It can happen at anytime
Do you comprehend what i'm trying to get you to see?

You can make excuses if you want
put me lower on your priorities
You can even ignore me when im alone and in need of a friend

But when its my time
And I've walked too far
I hope your conscience will one day find peace

Because you'll feel the guilt
of abandoning a friend
And watched from afar as I crawled slowly to my end
Written for many people. Think about everyone you know, That you care about. how would you feel if you never saw them again... If you thought for one second that they wouldnt be there tomorrow would you try to talk to them today? I'm not suggesting you drop your important duties in your life for anyone, but this poem is suggesting that you treasure those you hold dear and care for them as much as you tell them you care. Because life is short, so check your priorities.

%PoeticalCondition critique

All in all, a well written poem. It manages to sustain itself with its meter, has a decent rhythm, is straightforward about what it expects from the title, and it is decently portraying the poem's message.

Nothing in particular to critique. Its well written.
