I'm going to spend the rest of my life trying to write poetry that grows sunflowers in hearts like what grew in mine when I was with you

I loved you
And you loved me too
But for all the wrong

I found myself missing
someone who used to
like all the little things
about me, so I went on
a little scavenger hunt
picking up bobby pins
and crunched up leaves;
a couple old CDs and
a bunch of little words
left unsaid; a tiny music
box and a ton of old
pictures that are the only
pieces left as proof and
all the little things were
laid out and added up
only to disappear in an
instant because they do
not even resemble who I
am anymore —
who am i
who
am

I stood in the rain hoping you would wash away from me, but it only made me cold and reminded me I no longer have you to keep me warm
The sunlight you radiate
burns off bits of dense fog
that seems to coat the memories I have
of all the time we spent in love
then I see the pain in your eyes
and the scars that I've left behind
all over your heart
and in your mind
that's when I realized
that it was I
who wrapped the memories up in mist
to mask the sensation of warmth
and pretend that you weren't even missed
because you deserve to be happy
and I deserve to be in this twist
where another boy's lips
are the ones that you kiss.
