Your Existence

Love is like paper

You are the pencil

I'm the eraser

You leave words on the paper

It's a mistake

That I try to erase

But you hurt me too deep

And the markings are carved

Like when you press

A pencil too hard

The eraser is unable to do its job

And the traces can always be found

Within my heart

That still longs for you

-I can't forget you

..................................................

This poem may take a while to understand but I'm actually proud that I thought of a connection between these two things.

EXPLANATION: You only erase your pencil markings when you make a mistake. Just like how you are trying to forget your ex that hurt you and made you believe he/she was the one. But when a pencil presses too hard against the paper, no matter how hard you try to erase it, there will still be evidence of its existence. A past relationship may have hurt you and caused heartbreak that will stay in your memories forever. Whether you want to forget it or not, the past has already become part of who you are.
