Been thinking about my ex recently, and coming to terms with how we actually weren't in love :')
So here's a poem about it I wrote called 'Once, only once.'
Did we mean nothing to each other?
Both rushing into it without realizing what it really was.
A useless lie.
I told everything, she was there.
I listened as she said empty words.
I wrote her a letter, she braided my hair.
I really wanted it to work.
We spoke of the future, neither knowing it would happen.
Talked and planned, we were stuck in a daze that we trapped ourselves in.
Boxed, in a deathwish wrapped with gold satin.
It was not until after that I found the truth out.
Not lying, not telling the full story. I never noticed.
So many details left, too many to count.
Nothing makes sense now, I'll leave it in the past.
Questions unanswered, deemed resolved by a pout.
Words that could have kept us going, unsaid.
We drifted apart.
Wound up in a spiderweb of dread.
To this day I wished I could have changed the way I told her the truth, broke the news to her different.
The past breezed over her head in the end. I was left with the guilt.
I thought I had left a scratch, the fact of which was eating me from the inside out, when in reality I imprinted nothing upon her. Not a mere dent.
Everytime I overcome it, she haunts my head.
Like a ghost, one you can see, that does not leave even though dead.
I see her everywhere.
Painting my nails, eating a slice of bread.
Every little thing reminds me of the time we shared.
Watching a movie, making my bed.
She always smelled heavenly.
Pleasant and sweet,
I remember vividly that smell from our first meet.
I have yet to come to terms with the fact that we no longer exist as a pair, my brain not keeping up with my emotions
But it is good to know her true feelings, that none of this was ever important.
