I don't know what it was!

She gave me

Something

That added to

Nothing.

In the end

Subtracted

Gone.

this poem wins the succinct award in my mind .. its a mind teasing twister ... i have decided on what she gave had surface substance that quickly dissipated ... yet she took a piece of the speaker with her ... the closing line "Gone" is the most intriguing for me ... its so abrupt and final ... she's not buried in the back yard is she?? :}

Thanks for the review E I had many options to follow on this one in the end I chose to tease the reader as you say lol. Memory loss of a past love was one path, what I thought was love was another , a fading friendship and or given a NSU. Thanks again. I liked it as it is now!

this can have many different meanings.....there wasn't much substance to her to begin with...

or i was nothing without her, and i am nothing again since she is gone.

and sometimes what she gives isn't worth the sum of the parts, and in the end, better that she is gone.

Thank you jacob I had many paths like contracting a NSU or memory loos of a past love, or what i thought was love or a friendship just fading but I decided to have an open interpretation on this one,
