Have you ever lost someone close to you

Lost someone who really matters

Someone who never failed to make you laugh

I have.

But what I really hate most,

Is that one person, that ONE person 

Who says,

I’M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS

It feels cheap 

Like a dollar tree toy that breaks too easy

Like an arcade prize that’s kinda cheesy

Like a ball point pen that snaps when you open it

Like a shirt that doesn't fit quite right

Or a pair of shoes

 that’s just a little to tight

Like a burger without fries

As easy given like a cup with no lid

 I’M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS

Those words need to be hid

Like fire on a trash bin

I give those words a goodbye bid

They won’t go

They won’t leave

So i’ll deal with it

Oh, well 

That’s my pet peeve

Like water down a drain

I wish it would leave.
