thirty eight days
twenty poems
and an embarrassing amount
of doodled hearts later,
the reality of you not being my one*
has finally begun to set in
it’s been one week
of trying to get over you
and i still cried last night
and i will probably cry again
but not forever
because i know that i know that i know
that i deserve so much better
i deserve
*someone who will think
my eyes shine like diamonds
and whose heart will always
ache to be next to me
and who will do whatever it takes
to have me, no matter what
someone who will overcome every obstacle
to ensure that i am forever his
and this will be
my last poem about you
and tomorrow will be day one
of erasing your name from my heart
and it’s going to sting
because i really was hoping
you’d stay
but no
i now see that you
are not my one
you are only one step
in the right direction
