Notes About The Poem

However bad it gets, there is a future after breaking up with someone who cared a lot less than you did. 

A Broken Dream

I'll remember,
you will not.
In fact you didn't care a lot
about our past
or all the things
which didn't last.

Are you hurting?
You are not.
In fact it didn't mean a lot
to you, the fuss
when dying love 
destroyed us.

I needed us,
you did not.
In fact you didn't care one jot.
At last I see a broken dream
releasing me.

I'll be gone when you wake.
Maybe you'll miss me
for the good times' sake.

Thanks for your kind remarks. I think I wanted to show that there is always more life when a relationship goes wrong.
