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...
I love him
I tell myself
I know that
We will be together forever
I don’t believe that
We could be separated
My thoughts tell me that
He’s the love of my life
Sometimes my heart lies and says
I could live an eternity
Without him
Like my friends say
“We’re perfect for each other”
And you can’t tell me
He’s not the one.

Now read from bottom to top.

I knew from the moment I first saw you that you’d only bring me pain
But I always try to see the good in people
I guess for you I fought in vain
Loving you was like being stabbed in the heart with a needle

And still I try to remember the good times
I try to remind myself of the laughs we shared
But I have to admit that you committed many crimes
And if I’m honest all I ever was, was scared.

I see now that I was a fool for loving you
And that I deserve better than what you made me feel
A tragedy was what was the love between us two
I will need years and years to heal
