And so ends an era.

The End of it All

In 3 weeks
we had gone from
friends to
Hey, I think he likes you
and
So, do you like him?

In 1 weekend
I found out
that you were going
to ask me out

1 week was all it took
for me to go from
friend to girlfriend,
for our moms to meet,
for us to kiss

Another week for us
to go on our
first date

On our 1 month anniversary
I started to write

These poems expressed
my sadness, then
my anger

5 poems did I write
to try and get everything out

For 1 month this front persisted
until I decided
to take a stand
I tried to get you to talk,
but you wouldn't open up

They day before
our 2-month anniversary
all this madness finally ended

And so began the aftermath

Now we ignore each other
I haven't said a word to you
for 1 month

It's taken another month
for me to vent
I've been writing even more poems
It's taken me 7 to realize
that I'm over you

On this,
The 1 month anniversary
of the end of all things
I shall end it all

No more shall I write
these poems, dedicated
to what once was,
and now is not

A friend told me
it's not a mistake,
but a lesson learned

I learned not to date somebody
just because I'm afraid
of breaking their heart
just because I was almost desperate
to say
"Yes, I have a boyfriend!"

I learned that to have a godd relationship,
There can't be a lack
of communication

And yes,
I've learned to write
some damn good poetry
in the process

Written 5/5/06. Dedicated to my loyal friends: you guys have been with me through it all, and the last poem is for you.
