A/N: This is my favorite poem I've ever written. I wrote it after I went through a really devastating breakup, and this was what went through my head when I saw him for the first time after that. I hope you like it as much as I do, and if you do, please vote for it! Thankssss.
It was like middle school
you and your friends huddled in a group
trying to get you to go talk to the boy you like
and when you turn around
your eyes connect
it’s like there is no one else in the room
except the two of you
but then you snap out of your daydream
and you look around and see
you aren’t in a middle school hallway
you’re in a funeral home
surrounded by people
but you’re only looking into one person’s eyes
whom you had loved once
and his mouth is slightly agape
and he’s staring at you like you’re beautiful,
like he wants you
but then you remember how you aren’t together anymore
and how all these feeling of love
have coming rushing back to you
and when you realize this
while staring into your ex-lovers eyes
you realize that you may have these feelings
but
he
doesn’t
and in that moment you finally understand
that he ended things for a reason
and you don’t know why
but one day you’ll understand
and you’ll find someone better
better than the boy in the funeral home
who doesn’t want you anymore
