My Scrabble Bag Is Empty

My Scrabble Bag Is Empty

 

I wanted a G

To thank God

For knowing you

 

I needed an O

To operate as if

Everything was okay

 

Another O

And I could have said

If only

 

A letter D

Then I could see

Your name for one last time

 

With the letter B

Then beautiful thoughts

Could have been shared

 

If only I had the Y

Then the why

Could be asked

 

But with no E

Then eventually

I resigned myself to your loss
