I felt like I was on the edge of a cliff
after our painful breakup on the 5th
Holding in a scream as my heart broke
over the thought of being alone again.
I know we didn't intend to
but the most brutal part of it
Was to act like our worlds didn't
end with it, not having each other.
I could see you in every corner I passed
being sure that losing you would kill me
Doing a bad job at faking smiles for those
who pretended to care about my grief.
Our winter's plot twist was to say
goodbye to everything we were
Stepping out of the blissful denial
to welcome some needed growth.

A/N: It turns out that breakup poems are my thing and I don't think it's even surprising because I shine with them the most, always have, always will. This is somewhat different from the others though, not because it's personal but because it's not. Writing from personal experience could be healing and bring peace, but also a lot of pain you buried away, so I try to be gentle with myself and not do it often. As someone who sees life and relationships a bit differently than some do, my writing reflects that. Hopefully, this part is healing for my readers, if not for me, then at least for them. That's my mission after all - to touch everyone's soul with it.
Have the most rewarding, happiest and suggestful January y'all!
Life is full of wonder, try to catch it while you're out there! (:
With love,
M.
