I thought I could wait for the snow to pass,
the sun to shine its yellow head on me,
&fill me with all the hope that i lost,
but i could only think of the empty spaces around me,
my heart being the only one smiling in my face,
rewinding&pausing on my heartbroken episode,
walking around with my echoed, faked disposition,
staring into the faces of strangers, neighbors, &past loved ones,
[all i used to see was you]
&the horror only sunk in faster as I laid on my bed,
sleeping on my side, the earphones sinking in my ears,
Mayday Parade screaming in my ears about you,
my thoughts erupting in your honor,
&the only thing i could focus on was if I'd ever stop crying.
♥
i'll remember you as the kind-hearted boy i fell in love with,
as long as you remember me as the put-together girl you once knew.
Author notes
Another poem wasted on you,
another word scribbled with your face in mind,
this is me without the you.
But somehow, I'm okay with that,
even when my mind refuses to believe that.

They used to shine for us, but we were just too love-drunk to care that they weren't.
