Only those with
A broken heart
Can truly write
Pain.

I can’t relive the past
But I continue revisiting
What was and no longer is.
Drowning in your laugh
Long but forgotten.
You kiss her and **** me.

Shadows of the past flicker in sight
And when I think it will all finally be over
I feel--everything.
Unable to say goodbye
I cry.

No escaping me
I remember and just die.
For I am not yours anymore
As you are not mine.

Memories flood
To the surface
And I drown
In the icy,
Black water
Of yesterday
As tomorrow’s
Shadow passes
Me by.
