Forever

Pathetic,weak, I may be
I wasn't prepared
I thought it meant more to you
I'm fighting the urge..
to collapse to pieces
to stop forcing my lungs to breathe
to let go of my self-restrain
to weep over my broken hopes
to let the the stitches in my heart come undone

Everything around me moves forward
while im fixated,in a trance, missing you
you said " I want you forever"
as far as I know, forever isn't over yet
so why are we??

our "perfection" ended for no convincing reason
I'm having difficulty choosing from all your lame excuses
I let my guard down for you
I let you in
I overflowed with my feelings for you
Like you asked me to
I gave you my heart courageously
You threw it back separately

 

How do I come back from that?

Because, trust me, I want to…

I want to get over you

I want to move on

I want my sanity back

I want to get rid of the shadows…

Of the suffocation

Of you…

 

But how?

How can I forget?

How can I stop my tears?

How can I collect the pieces of my heart together?

How can I restrain my thoughts? …

My dreams?

My hopes?

How?

 

I want no one but you

Your loss is killing me

But wanting you after all you did is...pathetic

Strong I am, but I'm up to my ears in this…

Drowning uncontrollably…

Yet fighting it for the sake of dignity

I miss you, I love you, but I can't ever let you know

Wipe my tears

Paint on a smile

Face the world like the whole person that I'm not….

Not after you…

You took a part of me with you

Will I get it back?

 

They say time heals everything

I'll let time work and hope it doesn't take forever

Because if I stay like this…

With thoughts of you wrecking my mind

With memories of you consuming my soul

With grief over you washing over my body

I'll need a miracle to bring me back

 

Get attached like this… never again

Let someone in like this… never again

Have hope for something like this… never again

Put my heart through a state like this…never again

Give up so much like this… never again

    Painful

    Not your writing that is, but rather the message. It's been a very long time since I felt that way but I understand that feeling so well. I had my heart broken when I was about your age and I too said...never again. Trust that over time you will learn to trust again. Then in more time you will learn to love again. And yes, it's very possible you will get your heart broken again. But I feel that the old saying is true "It's better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." I wouldn't want to relive my life without my heartaches. They made me who I am today. Sometimes it's had to find a rainbow after a storm but eventually you will. Keep looking.

    You need to keep writing.

    I was expecting to see more poems by you. Keep writing it's a healthy release. It's better to get those feelings out instead of keeping them bottled up. Wishing you the best.

    nice write this, though i initially felt it may have ended up being too long-winded, but it aptly describes what you are feeling and when going through a phase like we are inclined to go on and on and on. yes, i can relate with this, sad memories it brings back. 'I want no one but you

    Your loss is killing me
