This is a poem about my first breakup. Emotions packed into words to express how I felt at the time. Created 2015.


Without you, Matthew


Purge my mind of memory's grim
So I shall not feel the pain
Of the unbearable sting
That is of your rejection
Towards me
Without you I am void
The darkness descends upon me
Takes over my being, my soul
Until I am consumed by the empty
And left with my soul
And nothing
Without you I am death
The grim rises
Takes me away
Away from you
Away I go
You will never know
How I feel
You
Me
Forever
Together
Never

Purge my mind of memory's grim
So I shall forget
Your innocent face
Again.
