Poem Title:
Poem
You were the reason I could live through the strife, You kept it from feeling like a stab with a knife. Affection’s what I needed to make it through, The kind of true love that I shared only with you. That’s how I felt until one day, You decided its better to throw it away. The four months with you went by so fast, Now I dread how long each day will last. We would joke about me being locked in a tower, Yet that’s how I feel without your power. In a poem you wrote you said I am caffeine, Now I know how you felt, I know what you mean. As I was to you, you were also to me, It just took losing you for me to see. Having no you is like having no air, You felt the same now it seems you don’t care. A while ago you said you’ve fallen for me hard, Now I sit here on the ground, I fell but I got scarred. Before that night I thought we’d endure, This was a fact, I was totally sure. Then it came with your words that you unfold, That you don’t want to see what our future will hold. I promised to care for you through the thick and thin, But now you've made that chance to be slim. When was the last you listened to our song, The way I find us now tells me it has been too long. Remembering the times you’d say “I love you”, Now I look back to find none of it’s true. No one could love you as much as I, I’ll keep our moments until I die. I clearly remember those times we had, Now they fade with you, I feel nothing but sad. But what kills me the most was the look in your face, What I had to look at when all this took place. No frown, no sniffs, not a tear in your eye, Even though it felt like I was ‘bout to die. I had to stay strong and hold back all my tears, All in the meanwhile being told my worst fears. You said you would always love me so, Though now I feel your love ceases to grow. I sit here holding what’s left of my heart, It slips through my fingers as it falls apart. Now I look back at what seems a mistake, But you’re the mistake I was glad to make, The kind of mistake I would always make, Even though it ends in my heartache. Poetry from the heart you showed me to write, And now it haunts me of that dismal night. Though I know I’m not perfect and neither are you, When we were together I felt that not true. My life had no order but I was gaining control, But now my heart’s left with a dark gaping hole.
