They were just words Poem, by Pineapple_pizza018, at My poetic side

I thought we met all their expectations

Checked all their boxes

Had all that determination

Now there's nothing left

When you said forever

Thought that meant you'd never leave

Tore up our letters

So you'd be free

From me

Now I know what they meant by fixer upper

I was glue and you were rubber

They said this would last forever

Now we don't even live together

You changed our world

Now the past is a blur

Too much anticipation

Guess I had too much patience

Guess they were just words

They were just words

You proposed

And I cried

But in the end

I guess you lied

Now we can't even finish our story

Now I know that sitting alone is so boring

Our relationship is finished

I didn't even mind your snoring

Now I can't sleep without it

I guess the picket fences meant nothing to you

Used to throw your shoes on the floor

Of our apartment, when you got home

Now I miss your shoes

Since you walked out the door

Now my hearts up for rent, so I'll reap what I sewed

Break ups are painful. You convey your sadness and pain here well. Such a disappointment when forevers don’t work out. I enjoyed your poem.

A poem of regret and sadness. There is anger and remorse in this piece and it pulls at the heart. Nicely written with flashbacks of the past.
