PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Last night- I pulled out a picture that caused my pain to resurface,

Rummaging through old letters- That I recall saving on purpose.

And the purpose was served perfectly- Memories flashed of you hurting me,

I remembered the place you had in my heart- That you never deserved to be.

Because you deserted me- With a single phone call while I was at work,

You were smart- Because you knew I couldn't react- I'd just swallow the hurt.

I still remember those days- Although they are a distant memory,

I held you together when you wanted to break but now you're barely a friend to me.

Shit, we're practically enemies- You've told too many lies,

You said you never lusted another- But I'm not stupid, you knew too many guys.

You refused to tell me why- And 'till this day I'm unsure,

But in my heart I know better- I know during our time you were unpure.

Cause you always wanted more- More love but more space, more hugs but more room,

You wanted the best of both worlds- Someone to love you and someone to screw.

Last night I pulled out that picture- And on your face I saw a smile,

My eyes began to well up- I began to ask myself how.

How could I let you slip away- How could I have been so blind,

How did we go from loving forever- To not being able to find the time.

You see I no longer miss you- But I'm still confused by what happened,

As a couple we didn't have issues- But for some reason you just weren't happy.

Shit happens, I know- I understand that you needed to find yourself,

But I never knew that while finding you- You'd also find someone else.

But recently you told me- That no one's made you feel how I once did,

It's kind of ironic really- Cuz you're now pregnant with is kid.

But the things you did, I can't forget- I also can't forget our history,

Last night I pulled out your picture- And last night was the last night you'll ever get from me.
