PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I woke up this morning and knew that today would contain the last moments we would ever share,

We can stitch up the emotional wounds and place band-aids over the cracks in our hearts, but we can never completely repair.

I sip on my coffee and a tear runs down my cheek and falls into the fragile cup,

I can't help but think about this great thing in my life that I'm about to selfishly give up.

I go in the shower and the water pouring down my bruised body reminds me of the rainstorm in my head,

The water and my tears begin to mix and my vision is too blurry to see that our Armageddon is directly ahead.

I pop in my razorblade romance c.d. and press play, but the your angelic voice is the only music I hear,

I say good morning to the luminous sun one last time, for when you leave my life, the clouds will never again part and the sky will never be clear.



The days full of light and joy that we had once shared are now nights so dark, lonely, and cold,

The pieces that once fit so well together have now fallen apart; our hearts are broken and our souls have been sold.

I swear, the only time I ever cry is when you are so far away,

You've been gone for so long and the sky is always black and gray.

We plead for forgiveness...but our prayers always seem to fail,

I try to be strong, but every time I think about you I realize that my hopes and dreams are so frail.

Sometimes I desire to put the past behind and relocate somewhere new, perhaps out west,

But if I run away from this mess, then all I would have done is failed your test.



...This isn't what I wanted, but it's what I knew deep down I had to do,

I can't believe I was so lucky to be a part of your life; I can't believe that we're now through...



I went to bed tonight with my body shaking and barely breathing,

We can put as many locks on the doors and barbed wire fences up as we like, but they'll never stop us from leaving.

I brush my teeth and can still taste your strawberry lip gloss on my chapped lips from our last kiss,

I kiss the picture of you next to my bed, thinking of all those little things you always did for me that I'll so deeply miss.

I give my teddy bear Theodore a hug, for he has been the only thing that has always been there by my unstable side,

I'm afraid of my future without you, because I was never even strapped into my seat for this roller coaster ride.

I grab my pen and bleed on white lined paper, telling tales of all that could have been and of my beautiful mistake,

I say goodnight to the setting sun for a final time, for as long as we're apart, everything in my world will be blurry and opaque.



The conversations full of smiles and "I love you's" that we once had have turned into cries for help and arguments full of animosity,

The selfish mistakes of the past have taken their terrible toll, and now they constantly come back to haunt me.

I swear, the only time I'm ever depressed is when you're not around,

It's been so long since I've held you in my arms that I've become close friends with the razorblades and needles that I've found.

We try to dry each other's eyes.... but we fail to realize that love always ends in tears,

I try to be brave, but for many years I'll be succumbed by my worst phobias and fears.

At times I wish I could just press rewind and stay with you in my home, but I'm already halfway to Cheyenne,

But even if I drive in a straight line forever, I will still come full circle and find myself back where i began.



...To hurt you and break your heart is the last thing I wanted to happen I just want you to know,

I've been wanting my freedom for so long, but when you finally liberated me, I didn't want to let you go...





...I swear, the only time I wonder "why" is when you are in Wyoming,

You've been there on vacation for so long that I'm lead to believe that you've moved on and your feelings for me are somewhere out west roaming...
