I thought I know you Poem, by anna_noday, at My poetic side

I thought I know you.

Your name, your voice,

Your face, your choice

Between the things you like.

I was wrong, you know.

You had another name,

Another voice for the people you love.

Another face, another life.

It's not that, you lied to me –

No, everybody lies all the time –

But you made me believe in myself.

You were my wall on my empty hall,

And I swarmed up on you

Like an ivy – searching for light.

I was happy, then you broke,

And you left me in solitude.

It hurts. Still hurts

Hearing your name,

Seeing your face on social media –

I needed time and space

To process the lost that you caused.

I had to grieve the person

That I was with you.

What doesn't kill me,

Makes me stronger –

I just need to be

Persevering a bit longer.
