Someone You Use To Know

Not really well with the naming of this poem and it was hard for me to write. Hope it's easier to read.

I was someone you use to know

Now I’m someone you never knew

Heart bleeds

Defenses crumble

I will not let this happen now

 

I remember when you said you needed to go

Now it seems you’re already gone

Heart melts

Body trembles

I cannot show how fragile I am

 

Words can’t describe what you do to me

Now it’s a story of what never did

Heart breaks

Tears fly

The Romeo & Juliet story that never was

 

I feel warm when I listen to you speak

But now it seems the truth was never spoke

Heart shakes in fear

Emotions uncontrollable

Is this how love must be?

 

I feel cold when I see you

I never could describe what I saw

Heart freezes

Defenses build

I hate love

 

I love you

I loved you

Heart turns to stone

Emotion stands still

I will not let you know I still do

 

I wanted to save you

But it seems you saved yourself

Heart stops beating

Numbness fills

All my desires turn to dust and fly away

 

I thought you would be easy to talk to

But I guess we never talked

Mind fades

Depression starts

I will not tell you what I want for Christmas

 

Because all I want for Christmas

Is a little love and more truth

Heart fills with hope

Then fades away

It’s impossible to have your love

Aww, this is so sad. Definitely relatable, or at least I can relate to it...
Well written. Great job!!(:

Not only relatable but also real as I have lived this in another place and time only fit to be mentioned these days in poetry. This bears the marks of love and the pain that often accompanies its passing. Thanks for sharing.
