PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Before I started dating you, I was a confident man.

I knew exactly what I wanted and where I was going.

I could sleep soundly at night.

When I was dating you, I was a happy man.

I knew I wanted to talk to you as much as I could,

and spending time with you was my greatest joy.

I could sleep soundly at night,

because you were the first and last person I thought of.

On the days leading to our breakup, I was an anxious man.

I knew I was lighting us on fire,

yet I could not stop because you still seemed cold.

I couldn't sleep at night,

because you had become distant.

After our breakup, I am an empty man.

I know I will be fine without you,

and that I never needed you.

I can barely sleep at night,

because even when I’m in someone else’s bed you are all I think about.
