###########################

Reckless promises were made,

And one by one, broken.

Yet you never left my gaze,

Our nightmare ended after I awoken.


I remember slowly dancing in the dark,

Your arms around me, and you in my hold.

On my heart, you left a mark,

And now it spread and slowly went cold.


In the back of your head,

I'll just be a memory.

One of the old chapters you read,

You'll be better off without me.


I was only ever an option,

While you were my priority.

I'm just a destination,

Not where you're meant to be.


Yet the ghost of us still hangs around,

Watching us completely fall apart.

You're only one is finally found,

And now I have to build back up from the start.

Yet again, I got inspired by the song 'Better Off Without Me' by Matt Hansen, and somehow made a poem instead of a shot story.
