A Small Piece of You Lives
did you think leaving me
would break me?
i wasn’t broken.
a soul is allowed to get
that much heated only once in
a life time
Was i hurt?
of course!
however, i prepared for it.
you were never mine in the first place,
just too many things reminding me of you,
most i can never let go of.
you gave me a piece that
put my writer’s block to sleep
that peach and passion fruit
tea makes me feel rejuvenated.
the chocolates?
i eat them whenever i get bored.
i still look at the empty christmas box
the only physical christmas gift i’ve gotten,
doesn't match
the rice my grandma makes on that day though.
The versace perfume?
i’ll spray it when i want to
feel you close to me.
the song we shared?
it makes me smile and dance still.
what do I do with troijaan and Kk.Y
you left in my dressing locker?
you gave me a name that
would make me think of you forever.
The way we made love
was intense and I hoped
there wouldn’t be a living
mark left behind
because I'd be forced to send it back.
i'm sad you left, I'm sad I left,
but instead of feeling bad,
i'm letting those good memories
Bring the best out of me.
from this day onwards
i’ll turn my pain into pen,
my hurts into hard work,
i won’t cry myself to sleep
or remember the words you said
I never believed them anyway.
because you were a tree with branches that
needed to harness.
i’ll write every beat of how i feel instead,
it’s okay to cry right?
that’s how i can heal.
i’m human and i’ll miss you
it’s not hurting so much though,
cause i knew this time would surface
just didn’t know it would be this soon.
i chose you from the start
i just wanted to be satisfied
and let go.
I didn’t want nothing more
but you did show me a little more
So I stayed a little longer.
i’ll cherish the fun times you made me smile
the bad moments? i won’t let them ruin it.
one of the best year i had.
spent 2 fighting like cats & dogs
we were both weird so I thought
we didn’t fit.
you said otherwise
I Agreed!
i didn't understand the conflict of interest
you meant but i’m sure it was just a means.
i understand hunny!
i’m used to detachment so i'm good.
be happy!
my pride won’t let me text
you so i'm storing it here.
