I wish that I could get over you,
And no longer feel the pain.
I never wanted to feel like this
And it's driving me insane.
I flirt with other guys
And pretend I'm moving on,
But I can't lie to myself...
The feelings are not yet gone.
I wish it could be simple,
And we could go back to the past.
Of when our friendship was greatest,
But I think that point has been surpassed.
I don't know what else to do,
To fix my broken heart.
And watching you move on,
Is tearing me apart.
You used to joke around with me,
The way you now do with her.
Witnessing it last night
Caused my vision to blur.
As I listened to your conversation,
Tears streamed down my face.
I remember the way we used to talk,
And now I feel so out of place.
I see how easy it is for you,
And I wonder why it isn't for me?
The only thing I can do now...
Is pray that God hears my plea.
Author notes
Last night I was hanging out in a group of friends that included my ex-boyfriend. As I watched him so easily carrying on conversations with another girl, I grew nauseous. As tears flowed down my face, oblivious to those around me, I began silently pleading with God to remove my feelings for him. I miss my best friend and I feel like as long as I am still in love with him, our friendship will always be awkward and empty. I feel so broken and I wish that I didn't...that's what this poem is about.
