Lauren Mccoy Poet Free verse

Faded Memory

I miss you, 
Even though you hurt me
I miss you, 
Even though you left me 

It’s been a year 
But the pain still remains
Tainted visions of you being here 

Sometimes, I wish it was a dream 
Wasn’t real
All the pain, 
All the hurt, 
I don’t want to feel

Even though it’s numb now, 
I still can't think about you too much
Because the ache in my heart can’t take the punch

I wish I still didn’t remember how you feel
I wish you were just my imagination,
Unreal 

But you’re somewhere, with someone, living another life
And I’m here with no one, trying to be alright.

I pray to God every night, 
To bring me someone who won’t leave 
And who will fight for me,
All the things you didn’t do 

And all the people here that remember you, 
They don’t know you like I do, 
They don’t know what you put me through
They don’t know that you took my heart and stomped on it
That it’s taken me so long to get over it

Faded, 
Jaded, 
It’s the only way I can deal
 
I do have a clean slate, 
But sadly, 
Honestly, 
The mark you made, 
Can’t be erased 

So I’ll let this be, 
My bittersweet faded memory...
