I’m trying really hard not to cry over you
because every tear is just one
more reminder that I don’t know how to let you go.
It’s only after someone is gone do you
realize how much you miss them…
My friends are always telling
me to move on, to give up.
But why? Why should I?
They don’t see you the way that I see you.
They don’t look into your eyes and see the world.
Why would they understand?
They can’t possibly imagine what
it means to look at your best friend
and see all their hopes and dreams come true.
I wish for once, just once,
they could walk a mile in my shoes.
But they wouldn’t need to walk that far,
they would just take one step and suddenly,
they would take back every bit of
‘getting over you’ advice they had
ever given me and realize you’re my life,
you were meant for me,
and that moving on or giving up is simply not an option.
You never really stop loving someone.
You just learn to try to live without them
I really think there’s a reason that I love her so much.
Like something is telling me not to let her go.
Every time I follow my heart… it leads me to her.
I mean… what other explanation is there.
Why is it that she is all I can think about?
Why is it that no matter how upset I am…
I see her and I can’t help but smile?
Why is it that when she smiles at me…
I get that feeling in my stomach?
And even when she’d broken my heart,
and hurt me as much as anyone could ever hurt me…
when she lied to me… and I hated her…
why then did I still feel those same feelings?
Answer me that, and then I’ll tell you
why I let her hurt me so much.
Don’t keep running back to the
one person that you need to walk away from.
If I can’t have you, at least i was able to know I had you.
Someday you’ll know, that I was the one for you.
No one realizes the beauty of love, until you lose it.
If the human body can live with food and water,
then why does it feel like I can’t live without you?

I enjoyed this poem a lot... i feel like this is exactly how i felt the first time i felt heart broken. It encompasses those feelings of wanting to be with that other person no matter if they hurt you and i think this is what makes this poem so effective.
ReplyDeleteI adore this poem, it was well done and excellently portrayed with a simple vocabulary suitable for anyone. and also i completely agree with gaston and it does in fact invoke the same sense of feelings with me
ReplyDeleteThis poem screams emotional instability. But as Will-Stew pointed out, everyone's capacity to handle rejection is different. I've never been heartbroken so maybe thats why i cant relate to this poet. It's really depressing though. This person's whole world has been shattered. They feel empty and broken...sometimes love can be scary.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Raven. If this is what it's like to lose someone... that is scary!!! The line "If the human body can live with food and water, / then why does it feel like I can’t live without you?" is very strong because it not only seems like an emotional problem, but more of defying nature. I also agree with Fareez in that the vocabulary is simpe, but effective. It got a heartless cynic like me to feel bad :[
