Words get tied on my tonuge.
I'm just trying to figure it out.
Excuses run through my head.
Your voice is all I'm hearing.
I'm staring at the ground,
so no one can see the look in my eyes.
I'm avoiding conversations
so no one can hear my voice about to crack.
I'm stuck on memories of when we first met.
I'm stuck on promises that were made so long ago.
Leaving wasn't in the picture.
I'm sorry for thinking things could work out.
Love doens't last forever,
were your words.
This isn't love,
is what you really meant to say.
Blinded by the lies.
Strangled by the thoughts of forever waking to your face.
I'm sorry I wasn't good enough.
I'm sorry I wasn't perfect enough.
I'm sorry I wasn't everything you wanted.
But this broken heart has your fingerprints all over it.
And these memories keep running wild in my head.
You're falling further away from me.
And I'm not sure I can handle you being this far.

Great write! You bring me back in time dear one!
I can remember feeling like this. Good job of expressing your emotions. Glad you won a trophy. This was very emotive & descriptive. Nice continuity. Makes the reader feel like he or she is right there in the experience.
