Poem 260

I saw you today

For the first time in months

It feels like I haven’t seen you in ages

 

I used to hope

We stayed apart

Never faltering too close to one another

But as I look into your eyes

I see the boy I once knew

Staring back at me


I know that boy’s gone

You’re remains of what he left

When his heart finally shattered

 

I miss the boy I loved so dearly

We were perfect

For months

I watched a piece of you slowly die

And as we fell apart

I knew he was gone forever.

    Today I’m reminding myself

    Of how far I’ve come,

    All the years I’ve spent

    Living in pain
