It Started With Me(Poetry Book)

Out of Love

One day

He stops replying as quickly as he used to

There are gaps in your conversations

There's nothing that really needs to be said

Those conversations that once electrified your heart

The ones you held close because you swore they could heal your scars

They become devoid of all of the warmth they ever carried

You ignore it and hope for the best

The already existing stress, more than either of you can handle

You wait and you wait

You hold onto the sinking ship until your fingers begin to bleed

In the distance, his love still lingers

You swear you're close enough to grab it

But it slowly floats away into the night

Gathering the courage

You ask where it went wrong

At that moment all that your fears come raining down

Drenching you from head to toe

Chilling you to the bone

Because you knew

That feeling you tried so hard to bury deep into your heart was right

So what do you do?

What do you do when your love is weighing you down?

Do you just let go and let the sea swallow you whole?
