One Month Poem, by 13LaurenD, at My poetic side

It’s officially been one month since the last time that we spoke,

And there are days where I am still trying to pick up the pieces that you broke.

And most days I am doing pretty well,

But there are other days where I am still reminded that I am in the midst of Hell.

Because every once in a while you cross my mind,

And I am reminded of what was once a happier time.

And on that one month anniversary it hit me pretty hard,

And it left me knowing that I am still going to feel scarred.

It will take time for things to get better after everything that occurred,

Because I hate to admit it that there are so many lines that are still blurred.

Because there are still so many thoughts that are running through my head,

Because I still remember all of the words that were said.

And that is how I knew I loved you, because after everything you did, I still am hoping for you to

come to your senses,

And I know that if you reached out, I would be willing to mend those fences.

Because no matter what I do, you still have that hold over me,

And I have accepted the fact that this is how it is always going to be.

Because I will always love you, and I hate to admit it,

That I know this is something that I will never be able to quit.

Because I can’t sit here and say there has been no one else since you,

Just none of them do everything that you could do.

I don’t get excited when I see them, and then don’t give me butterflies,

And their smile doesn’t lighten up the gray skies.

And their eyes don’t sparkle the way that your did,

And I don’t get that love story of knowing them since they were a kid.

And as I’m sitting here writing this, all of those feelings are coming back,

And all of the work that I put in is slowly starting to turn black.

Because it has never hurt this bad with anyone before,

And there is nothing I want more.

Then for you to come back and finally realized you made a mistake,

Because you never being in my life again is something that I can’t take.

This poem beautifully captures the raw emotions and complexities of heartbreak. The imagery and heartfelt expressions make it relatable to anyone who has experienced the pain of losing someone they love. It's a heartfelt expression of love, pain, and hope for reconciliation. Great work!

I love the way you expressed yourself with honesty and humility in your view reality. But it worries me I don’t know why he was the smart enough to stay but people who caused the problem a very rarely the people who resolve the problem. By that I mean , if you cajole him back with the possibility that your current bias won’t be strict enough to hold standards that he needs to meet. Delise the opening for her all over again and that is what worries me I don’t know you, but I’d like the way you write and so I think I know you and that would worry me if you gave him an easy in because your feelings are mushy or whatever better word you can think of . it is none of my business. so I apologize if I’ve offered too much opinion bottom line is I’d like the way you wrote the piece. Very cool.
