Those Days

So maybe one day I’ll forgive you, but today is not that day.

Where was my goodbye?

When I was with you, I was at my high- 

You broke me


I’m in tears, now you’re in my dreams–

They say it could take up to years to get over these things

Can you hear me when I scream? When my music is blasting and it’s just me

What did I do to you? That we couldn’t last–


More than a few– months, days, minutes

Why couldn’t it be me? Why didn’t you end up with me?

Getting used to second best.

Ending it over text was pretty vexing


There’s a grave in my mind,

Your name read.

On the tombstone–

You're finally dead


I don’t know you anymore– I guess I never really did

Oh– I see she’s texting

I bet she’s nice to you isn’t she?

Your all, your everything


She used to be me.

This piece was made when I was at a low point in my life and the guy I loved said he couldn't handle a relationship at the time and then the next week I saw him with a girl who I thought was a friend.
