think back.

i rose from my bed this morning.
the creaking wood floor calls out the warning.
that today will be a day just like any other.
then i see remember the date.
i remembered her face.
thinking back on the day you left me.
because i kept my love hidden...where even you couldn't see.
today would have been our third anniversary.

and the first anniversary of the day they buried me.

 

  i step out of the shower.and look in the mirror.

i take a second to observe the scars along my arms...wrist..legs...

where i find your initials carved in firm stead.

ill never lose these scars... they are here to remind me...

of the women i loved...the one that left me.

ill see you today, as i do every day...

and here those words you love to say.

"Dylan, i hope your doing okay."

ill pinky swear i am.... but inside i know I'm rotting.

but along the way this heart of mine...still there was plotting.

 

and so i found another, in a way i never saw coming.

and its now to her charms i find myself succumbing. 

you pushed me to the edge of death, i almost took my own life.

and in this moment...I'm in love with her, and have never felt more alive.

 

i work up the courage, after all this time loss.

to slowly take a marker and cross.

your initials from the mirror. which i always caught in a glance.

i smile at the mirror. and whisper to the whole world.

"you should have killed me, when you had the chance."

  • wow. ive never cried so hard reading a poem. i know how you feel more than i would like to, but wow. this was so amazing.

  • This poem is beautiful in the way of describing the pain of a break up. It takes a long time to heal from loving someone then losing them

    overall, this piece is fantastic and I hope you the best in the contest

    I love how the ending is happy, but in a way I can still feel the pain of what happened to you. Break ups are hard, a lot harder than some people think they are.
    You know, I'm actually very happy you chose to write about a break up for my contest because for some reason I think that a lot of people look past break ups, and make others feel like they aren't worth being upset about.
    Wonderful write. Thank you for joining my contest, and I wish you the best.
