"I loved all the boys with soft sad eyes and lost souls." -Grace Coddington


You tell me that it wasn’t love
but I know that nothing else
hurts like this because
I freeze every time your favorite
song spills from the speakers of
my car and I can’t go anywhere
without seeing you because that
t-shirt would be something
you’d wear and maybe I should
buy you those socks but
scents and sights and sounds
associated with you twist through
my spine like a thousand little
daggers and I wish I could
have my brain drained of all
our memories so that I could forget
the love we did not share.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

I've never experienced this, but I found your poem wonderfully written and full of emotion. This is wondefully written. Thank you for sharing this.
