My All

Yesterday, I saw you on the street with the one you chose over me. I hid my face. I didn’t know if I was scared or embarrassed. You smiled at her, the same smile that you gave me when you used it. I couldn’t breathe. I was flying, but you were lying. How could you tell me that you loved me if it wasn’t true at all? Does she make you feel brand new? Like you said that I used to, Would she be there if you were to fall? I would’ve given you my all. Today, I’m going to have to clear my mind find things to do with my time. I run across the picture from that day so I tell myself I’m OK as I’m crying, but I was lying. How could you tell me that you loved me if it wasn’t true at all? Does she make you feel brand new? Like you said that I used to. would she be there if you were to fall? I would have given you my all.

Your poem captures the essence of heartbreak with raw honesty. The speaker’s confrontation with their ex-partner’s new relationship brings to the surface unresolved feelings and a sense of betrayal. The repetitive questioning and reflections on past promises underscore the difficulty of moving on from a love that was believed to be genuine. Your journey towards acceptance is fraught with moments of self-deception, highlighting the complex process of healing after emotional betrayal.
