ＰＯＥＭＳ ＡＮＤ ＰＲＯＳＥ

Okay so this was for an activity we did earlier. My teacher in Creative Non-Fiction said we should write something using the last message we sent to people.

I own two phones, so I didn't know which to use. So, I wrote for both. The other one was kinda like a short story so I passed it. This one is obviously a poem. My teacher said the title of the poem should be the last message we sent. This is why my title is a bit weird.

"Okay Then"

It all started with the words 'okay then'

Those were the words I said

When you asked me to be yours

Those were the same words

I said when I asked

If we could go out but you said no

Those words were often used by me

Whenever you turned me down

And do something else

I hate those words

Those words were the reason

I haven't been sleeping and eating

I've constantly been stuck saying those words

To the point where those words were the only words I say and

I keep repeating them in my head

One day, I've had enough

I told you we were done

And you said the most heartbreaking thing

You shrugged and said 'okay then'

Not caring about me or what we had

I thought you would at least change

Funny how we started happily

And ended bitterly with

The same words that made 'us' happen

You kept going and going

I stayed and got stuck

While you moved on without me; forgetting about 'us'

I keep thinking of what

Was once ours and what we used to have

Even though there's nothing to come back to anymore

It all ended with the words 'okay then'

Those were the words you said when

I grew tired of you forgetting about me
