The End

 So... yeah. He broke up with me. He did it in person, because he was and always is a gentlemen. And he gave me a letter, too, that way he could fully express himself. I can't stop reading it. At some point I had to stop moping, and I started doing what I always do: write poetry.

The Letter He Wrote

These tear stains won’t fade.
They multiply on my pillow case
And the note in between my hands,
Blurring letters that can’t be erased.

I don’t know why I keep it.
I keep reading it (just once more).
But eventually, I’m too exhausted
And I let it crash to the floor.

“I always will and always have,”
His sketched words on paper say,
“Cared for you my darling,
But I don’t love you that way.”

I miss him holding me.
I miss those happy memories.
But I guess I always knew
That we weren’t meant to be.

I said it before with a smile-
“I can’t get you off my mind.”
But it’s a little different
When I’m saying it this time.

Because this time I know
I cannot love him anymore.
I have to stop thinking that
We can return to before.

This poisonous piece of knowledge
Keeps my heart from breaking.
But just knowing doesn’t stop
These tears from escaping.

love, break ups
