No Longer

Kesha

Three weeks have passed
Since I last saw your face,
Couldn't see your pain,
But I heard your heart

break.

You left town that same day,
Packed a suitcase
And drove away,
Had your window up the whole

way.

I saw your eyes
In the sockets of
A local cashier,
The girl you said 
Who couldn't comprehend

life.

She flashed a smile,
And lit up the room,
Or so I heard, 
All I could think of was

you;

Who walked away,
As if it wasn't the breath
In my lungs that gave you

life,

As if it wasn't the calluses 
On my hands that molded
Everything in which you have

become.

I swam in the ocean of your eyes,
I lived behind the walls of your

insecurities.

I saw your silhouette on the pavement
the other day,
But it did not pain me to remember,
It did not leave me gasping for air,
Like it did that first

day.

My hands no longer ache
For your presence,
My eyes no longer search 
For your features because

darling

I was not born to drown.

    Kesha, like the poem, like the structure, and like that you still call him 'darling' on the second to last line! 🙂

    • Kesha

      Haha thank you very much 🙂

    • myself and me

      What have you been through? I am glad you are out of it now. You have such a kind heart.
      Beautiful writing.

        Haha most of my pieces aren't completely personal, I wanted to show someone not giving up in this piece 🙂 & finally moving on without pain 🙂
