PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I thought of you today  

and no, I didn’t cry.  

Just one quiet tear  

slipped from my eye.  

It doesn’t mean the ache is gone,  

or that I’ve healed in any way.  

It only means I’ve found the strength  

to live through one more day.  

Each day without you  

feels like losing breath.  

Each night without you  

is a vigil with no rest.  

I think of you always

the love we used to share.  

I still don’t understand  

why you left, or if you cared.  

I swore I wouldn’t do this,  

wouldn’t break again today.  

But damn it, how could you?  

How could you leave me this way?
