I wont forget you

But I'm afraid you've forgotten me

I don't know where I'm going

But I know where I've gone

I'm standing on your street corner

Feeling like you've already won

I had shame and pain and fear and lies

And God knows, I hate goodbyes

But you, you already said yours

The things I've said the tings I've done

Mean nothing now that you have won

You stole my heart

You crushed my soul

And now I'm here to depart complete and whole

I drink in your scent

Its my only air

When I'm in your arms

I don't seem to care

About the world so bleak

And tired and old

We're withering away

At least that's what I'm told

No comments

No tears

No tantrums

No fears

You stole my life

And you killed itfor cheers

Something about you had me whirling for years

But I'm stronger now after all these tears

You're the one breaking down this time

You're a mess and I'm just fine

Time has given me the strength to say

I'm better than this and I'm glad you went away


So, I would just like to say that this is the first poem I've seriously written. It was a long time ago after a bad breakup and I feel like even now still has relevance to my life even if I'm past the breakup. I'm not really sure how good it is but it is personal and something just told me I needed to put it out there. I added the last verse rather recently to mirror my feelings now:)
