The worst feeling in the world is that of realization.
Not realization as in enlightenment.
Realization as in that crushing moment when your wold falls and cumbles landing on your already broken heart.
Realization is when it hits you.
He's not yours anymore.
You can't text him anymore
He's not gonna tell you everything is okay.
He's never gonna say he loves you anymore.
He doesn't
You do.
He has moved on
You haven't.
He has a new girlfriend
It makes you cry.
He ignores you
You reach out to him as though searching for a lifeline.
As if a single hello will pull you out of the waters your drowning in.
Realization hurts.
Like when it hits that as your crying alone he's in another girls embrace.
As your breaking down
She's holding your world.
As you sit blade poised over your wrist.
She's kissing him and he's saying he loves her.
Just like he said to you.
He knows he hurt you
He doesn't care
He knows your crying
He wont be their.
He never will
Ever again.
After I put this pen down I'm done.
I'm going to block him
Delete the messages
Forget he once resided in my heart.
And move on.
So I can he happy.
This realization wont destroy me.
I won't let it.
Ever.
my first spoken word, i found it while looking through my old poems from last year.

i try to move on
but you're in every place i look
you're the flowers in the garden
you're the pages in my book

i try to move on
but i see you everywhere
you're the bluebird in the birdbath
and i feel you in the air

i try to move on
but there's really no escape
you're the coral in the ocean
you're the fish found in the lake

i try to move on
but i fear that it's too soon
you're the ticking of the clock
and the peeling paint that's in my room

i try to move on
but i feel you in the night
you're the words i can't choke out
and you're the shadow to my light

you're the daisy chain i made
you're the glasses that i lost
and it really is a shame
because i loved you quite a lot

not a whisper, not a sound
but i feel you all around
I never thought I could be happy again.
Especially on my own.
I never thought there would ever be a real smile on my face.
Especially without anyone to hold.
I never thought I would make it through the days.
Especially if I couldn't spend them with someone else.

But now...especially now...I don't care.
I mean that in the best way I can.
Now I don't care that I don't have someone to love me.

Because now...finally now...I have learned to love myself.
