Aleera De La Keur Poet Free verse

Forsaken

Take it.
Take it and throw it away.
It will never be the same anyway.

A hole.
A hole in my chest.
Ragged, raw and hollow.

The pain.
The pain is so intense, I'm numb.
It's a struggle to get through the day.

My bed.
My bed is my refuge.
If only I could stay here forever.

Do I?
Do I get up and pretend it doesn't hurt?
Maybe they'll all buy it.

Can't breathe.
Can't breathe when I remember.
That smile, that embrace I miss fiercely.

Were we?
Were we really happy?
Maybe I imagined it all.

Cast aside.
Cast aside with no reason.
I can't do this anymore, Love is Pain.

How could anyone not want to love and be close with such a beautiful and creative person with a glow shining from the inside out. You are so gifted Aleera... MPK
