#break up poetry

[lastofthehopelessromantics]

nobody taught me how to grieve the loss of someone who's still alive. how theres no grave to bring flowers to. no place to mourn what we were and the life we would've had.

Last of the Hopeless Romantics xx

I’ve been good for a while,

I think?.. I’m good.. but then,

I wonder if I’m trying to convince myself..

because lately it’s been all to easy..

starving myself, of love, closeness, of art and all it’s richness,

to lay and decay.. all day, alone.

Anyways.. that’s all grown easy for me you see..

but.. to do a damn thing else feels worlds away

and I couldn’t swim or run there if I tried with all my might,

not even with my largest of stride.

Maybe that’s why I lay up sleepless every night.

I can see it just there, it keeps out running me,

just as all the things I love, try as I do.

It evades me just the same as the words that hang above me do.

So plain to see yet in a language I can’t ever learn to read.

So I don’t want to eat,

I barely even need to drink,

my need for life is gone.. it seems,

as I sort out my thoughts to pages..

that an improbable truth is, that..

Try as I do, I can’t stop from thinking of you.

Every minute of every day.

“It’s not fair” roars inside my head on repeat,

“none of it, not a god damn part of my life.”

But I’m happy with how I turned out,

I’m happy with who I’ve grown to become!

That should be enough.. all the work that I’ve done,

all the tears I’ve bleed for the fears I’ve faced.

That should count for a hundred times over all the hurt I can’t stop myself from fixating on.

Cause you’re gone,

and i should know better by now,

to let you stay gone.

But I always reach out,

hand caught once more in the trap.

You hurt but you mend.

I break and bend.

Over and over for you, again and again.

Doesn’t matter how alone,

how blue..

how long?..

doesn’t matter, one bit,

cause when you’re not with me time drags on,

when you are it’s suspended like us.

When you left me hanging in the bomb dust,

breath labored,

scared as I was,

I stayed there waiting for the smoke to clear..

but you weren’t there.

Time?..

I have learned, never to trust.

Nor love or lust.

I won’t lie

I hope you are awakened once and a while

by the memory of me

I hope you stare up at the ceiling and

feel guilty for your words and your actions

I hope you consider apologizing

I know you don’t

but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t hope

e.c.

Get out of my head How are you? Go away Are you okay? Leave me be Have you found somebody else? You hurt me enough Do you still love me? Liar I meant when I said always, did you? I don’t know how to unlove you Do you miss me? I want to stop missing you Did you get rid of my things? You’re haunting me like a ghost Have you wanted to send me a message? I have to fight the urge every day Are you healthy? I can’t breathe Are you happy? I’m rotting Am I in your dreams? I would set these memories on fire

If I could.

everyone tells me that

i will find love again

and it will not end with her.

but how could it not end with her

when she is the reason it began?

let me have my grief.

this is the only thing

that makes sense.

this is the only thing

that feels right.

this is the only thing

that i have left of her.

The version of you

That lives inside my head

Loves me better

Loves me harder

Than you ever did.

And her

Hands are softer

And her

Mouth is kinder

And I'm longing for this woman

When it's impossible to find her.

But she's left

Her fingerprints

Across your skin

They're begging me to

Let you back in

This version of you is nothing

If not insistent and I

Forgot you could be

This persistent.

I wish you’d been braver.

I wish I had been, too.

I wish you’d told me about her sooner.

I wish you’d told me

how much you loved me,

and for how long,

so I could have treated it

with the tenderness it deserved.

You look happy now,

and I’m glad,

but I wish I’d been brave enough to

believe in your love for all those years

you burned so quiet, so strong,

and I never understood.

These boys are all talk. But I can’t seem to stop Checking  the clock. Even though the door’s unlocked– I leave the mat over the key, And tell them not to fall in love with me. But these boys are all talk, And I can’t seem to stop. Cause they’re louder than when I heard your bomb drop. So I keep them around To drown out your sound. And they break my fall Before I hit the ground.

Talk, April Dawn

Catch My Tears

Catch My Tears 10/15/03

"They say holding on makes you stronger but I swear letting go takes all my strength"

Catch my tears and hold me tight The silvery moon is quite high tonight Bottle my tears and hide from the light Seeing you this way is a terrible fright Catch me I’ve fallen and hide me from sight For you to carry my burdens is a terrible blight Run away keep the secrets we had this night Swing away from the moon oh so bright Catch a glimpse in my eyes so white Just promise you’ll catch my tears and hold me tight

Dear ___,

Thank you.

Thank you for leaving

Thank you for making room

For those who are more deserving.

Don’t get me wrong,

I miss you.

I do,

I missed who you once were

What we once had

But a divine being like me,

Was not made for one.

I’m larger than life,

I was not made for a drunk

I am pieces of the gods

Placed here for the mortals

So

Thank you,

Thank you for proving that I,

An enigma,

Was always meant for more

I pray you are the last one

I dare settle for

No longer yours,

_____

when you find your person, you want them to stick around forever. you don’t want their attention moving to anyone else, and you try to isolate your love for them as long as possible. but then your person moves on, and finds their person. they start to forget about you. and that really fucking hurts.

gave my heart and soul to the wrong person

but there is no right person, how can this be a mistake?

gave my trust and years to the wrong person

but there is no other person for me, how can I be alone again?

everyone says to leave, so quick to leave

as if they haven't felt what I feel

we're stitched together, me and him, the blood dried up and scabs faded to scars

I know I have to rip him out of my very pores, out of my atoms

but how can I stay when the needle is still threading through my insides?

more like a poison than bond, one I drank of my own will

so I would have someone to hold me when I was frozen

everyone says to leave,

yet they don't say you'll get burned if you start

in the beginning I would wake up thinking only of him, but now I wake up thinking how am I going to tell him?

tearing the threads out, I'm pulled apart at the smallest level to be left alone and bleeding

but how will I endure this everlasting pain when my love still breathes somewhere apart from me forever?

parts of him I carry with me, absorbed into me, aches with this untold knowledge

but I will never have to say goodbye as he will always be with me, and he never has to know these feelings

Sometimes I miss you, It occurs rarely and it hurts.. So much,I think it's for the days that I don't miss you.

I miss you and I want you to see the new me

I know at every expression of my confidence you'd kiss me and say "that's my girl!" You always wanted the best for me.

I miss you and it hurts

I think it's because I wish I still loved you, Because if I don't..

Then you were just another person not meant for me.

[tilting-at-windmills]

He’s still the boy I want to kiss me in the rain

and he’s seen me at my worst

but in the end I was too broken,

even for him

and I couldn’t give him what he wanted.

He loved me for so long,

so true, he was always there

and I knew I could always run back

and now—

And now he’s gone.

Cowardly slipping away

once again making me be the one to say

goodbye.
