Love Letter 2021: Saddest (Runner Up)

The 2021 Love Letter to Your Thesis competition was the biggest yet, with so many incredible entries! Here is the runner up in the “Saddest” category…

Hopes rise, dreams flicker, love plans for tomorrow, loneliness thinks of yesterday

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Me and you thesis

We're almost through

 

I yearn for the day

When you want no more

You endless abyss

You constant chore

 

Submitted, accepted

A thing of the past

Finally over

Finished at last

 

And then what?

What then shall I do

Simply find another

Problem or two?

 

A post doc?

Maybe industry?

As if I'll have a choice

In this economy!

 

Thesis, oh thesis

As I near the end

When we finally part

I won't ask to stay friends
