When you left…

I will ne’er blame thee- You’ve every right To love or thwart – But I wish – When you left- You could’ve left- A little of me!

I forgot that I loved you, I forgot every time I wanted you, Every memory I had with you. I also forgot how to be honest, I still lie, I can never forget you, ny vivid dream. But for you, I am a fading memory.

I am afraid to forget that I love you Afraid to forget that I need you That I had you. Afraid to forget the sound of your laugh, To forget your scent, Your touch And, that I had such love.

love you.

"love yourself" so easy to say yet so hard to do. i wish i loved myself so it wouldn't hurt as bad, to not hear you tell me that you love me. the way I love you.

letting go

I tried explaining why I still love you but nothing would come out that was when I realised I didn't know why either.

I gave you my heart after one glance You stole my reason when you turned to me My mind hates you now But my heart believes in you Please be better than that, it says But i know better than that, you were born that way Though I always give you the doubt, it's in my nature

Unrequited

She ignores him, he ignored her back She is quiet to him, he is quiet back She smiled at him, he smiled back. And She texts him, he texted back She calls him, he called her back She loved him, and that he didn't reply.

I know what my heart is like Since your love died: It is like a hollow ledge Holding a little pool Left there by the tide, A little tepid pool, Drying inward from the edge.
SadEdgar Allan Poe

To----

I heed not that my earthly lot Hath--little of Earth in it-- That years of love have been forgot In the hatred of a minute:-- I mourn not that the desolate Are happier, sweet, than I, But that you sorrow for my fate Who am a passer-by.
SadDave Bonta

Missing

I walk up and down and miss everything that passes: love and water and her troubled mind. The treaties which made me laugh.

Today was a good day. I didn't flinch when they brought your name up. I didn't show any sign that I even remotely missed you, I didn't give them any ounce that I still care about you, that you still keep me up at night, that I can still feel your lips on mine own, that even though I'm alone in the darkness I'm not, Because you are there with me. I didn't tell them that even though it's been months since we went our separate ways that I still love you. I didn't say a word. Because today was one of my good days without you.
