I Remember

I remember how it felt
to love the cards your dealt
to live in a fantasy
to have your heart melt.

I remember how I believed
that you would never leave
I was blind at the time
but I would soon see.

I remember how you lied
I remember how I cried
when you walked away from me
you left me barely alive.

I remember all the pain
I couldn't even say your name
I remember how it hurt
it may never go away.

I remember taking a breath
taking tiny little steps
towards erasing your memory
towards mending what's left.

I remember how it felt
to hate the cards your dealt
to live in a nightmare
to have your world melt.

I'll never forget what you did
I'll never forget how I slid
into a world of complete darkness
and how I stood back up again.


I'll never go through that
it was my first and my last
I am a different person now
you are now only in my past.

I remember how I cried
how a part of me died
how you almost ended me
I remember. . . . how I survived.
