Fear of losing nothing

Break-up...everyone goes through it!

I wrote this in fear!

Fear of losing what we once had.

Fear of losing the little spark we created.

That spark we should've burnt bridges with but instead we let it die out.

As our flame slowly fades and our journey comes to an end...I'M SCARED!

 

I'm afraid we'll lose everything

And by "everything" I mean absolutely nothing.

We were nothing.

There was no "we" and there'll never be a "we"

Just you, me and my broken heart.

 

I'm afraid I'll forget you in the near future.

Some day we'll look back on this

And I'll have to settle for second best

When clearly you're my number 1

My first forever!

 

I'm scared you'll happier in the future

Without me.

Someday you'll realise that you were my 1

My today.

My tomorrow.

My forever!

 

I'm petrified

because al of this...us...

might be all a distant memory.

But I don't want to be remembered for the past,

I want to be your future.

 

Let me love you

Can I be your nothing?

You know why?

Cos even nothing is something!

I loved the poem...

I can't even say much as the poem said it all. I love the idea of being someone's "nothing" ... There's a permanent bond that forms when you fall in love with someone. It has no name, no description ... it just exists.

Thank you for sharing!

Thank YOU for your feedback. Really means everything hey.

Nice poem!

I myself can relate to this poem

I think that when you can get your readers to relate to your work, that's like 50 extra points!

Keep up the good work!

[Aphy!]

Thank you very much, and I get really happy when they have that "I know how it feels" feeling and it just makes me happy. Like we all share the same experiences. Thanks again!

Thanx for the review. Glad u enjoyed reading

[HippieSoulPunx]

Ah, very sad poem, lots of emotion in these words. Sometimes it's hard to face up to reality, and you might decide that having anything is better than losing it. Even if it means staying in a relationship that isn't going to work, or pretending you're happy, because it's better than having to admit that things are over and you have to part ways. Very easy to relate to this piece of writing, nicely written, too :)

[Aphy!]

Yeah I know right. We all hold on to this false hope knowing that it isn't real or it might not work but somehow it's just the only thing that makes us happy. Thans for your kind words and I'm glad u enjoyed this!

Break ups are so hard. They are gaping wounds that hurt very badly and don't seem to heal; however, they eventually do and a scar replaces them.
Great job with communicating the emotions.

Thank you very much Emma

A totally subjective thing here:

Sometime , in my earlier years I noticed that the wanting I felt for the presence of particular people
was in itself more valuable than actually getting what I wanted - that is what I am reminded of when I read this. Not to pretend I know a thing about the very experience you had... I just think that , if it were not like that, you would not have felt the things that made you write this.

It was worth reading without a doubt. The work exhumes your honest emotions and people can obviously notice that.

[Aphy!]

Thank you very much and I'm glad u enjoyed reading it

[Briana]

This felt honest, and spoke to a fear and longing that most if not all have experienced. I did spot a couple spelling errors near the end, but they didn't detract from the overall experience of the poem. Well done.

[Aphy!]

Thank you Briana! And I'll find my errors and fix them

[NWC]

Too much of Anxious fearful mentality is shown here. The idea is good to write on.

[Aphy!]

Appreciate the review hey!
