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.

  • Time

    They told me that time would heal the wounds,

    But they couldn’t have been more wrong.

     

    No matter how many years pass,

    Time does not heal.

    Time buries baggage until you forget,
