Dust
You
With your words
The Knife.
You.

Me
Knowing and not knowing,
Afraid and clueless.
Me.

Us
A thing that used to be,
The dust on the mantle.
Us.

We
Will never be the same
The blood that was spilled across the floor.
We.

This crime scene filled with pain and sorrow and regret.  The murderer and the victim one in the same—but also separate.  Two hearts that both dance to the same miserable song.
I don't know why this poem is so popular...  I've done better...
You don't hurt people with a 'No'
You hurt them with a 'Maybe'
When you know the answer
Is 'No'
missing you.

but not chasing you
I love someone I can't love anymore
And it haunts me to my bones
How do you
Forgive yourself
For all the
Things that
You never
Became?
She was the moon
A force to be reckoned with
Quiet,
But waiting
For her beauty to be realized
Watching,
From afar
She was the moon
And I was a star
Simply along for the ride
