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.

    Our Story

    Our story always ends the same

    No matter how many pages I turn

     

    In the end

    I’m the friend in need

    And you’re the main character, always having to help me

     

    I try to rip the pages out

    Yours Again

    When I looked into your eyes

    The memories came in waves

    Drowning out all our flaws

     

    For a moment

    I forgot my resentment

    And became yours again.
