Deleting old messages,
Letting go of the tears
Throwing out my heart,
Waiting for the sky to clear.

Tearing the Polaroids,
Writing poetry in the night
Reminiscing about our story,
Our love before the fight.

You said we'd make it up,
You said that we would last
You promised not to break my heart,
Darling, you broke that fast.

Clutching my pillow tight,
Trying not to think
Emotions pouring out my eyes,
Every time I blink.

Your breath against my neck,
Your fingers in my hair
All those 'I love you's were fake,
Never did you care.

Telling myself to stay strong,
That I will be okay
That you weren't good for me,
That I'll move on someday.

Typing, then unsending,
Spur of the moment texts
My heart wants you back,
But my mind knows you're my ex.
