Kierra Martinez Poet Dramatic Monologue

I Guess

I don’t want to feel this way 
As if you took all of the air out of my lungs when you left.
I fight through it everyday,
And you will never know how hard I wept.

You stole the only light I had
Leaving me in an world of silent nothingness.
I did everything you asked 
Upon my worst enemy, I wouldn’t wish this loneliness.

I miss the way we’d laugh 
And how we’d comfort each other when we would cry.
I miss the way we’d sing and dance
And the way you’d make me laugh without having to try.

But I hate your empty promises
And your cold, meaningless, and beautiful lies.
I was nothing but a distraction
But for me, you were the stars to my night sky.

For two years my love was yours
But now I know your heart was never mine.
For you, I’d crawl across the earth and more
And for you, I know I was just a way to waste your time.

I was never the object of your desires
Not even someone to whom you could tell the truth
You were a boy trying to build a man’s empire
Acting as if the world couldn’t see you were forever hooked on your youth.

You know, I guess I’m glad we’re not together 
Just embarrassed that it took so long
You taught me through your mistakes that I deserve better
I don’t have many regrets but you were certainly something I did wrong.
