Him*

About an a*****e I still love

I wanted to write a poem
About what you did
How you ran
And how I feel your ache
The same ache I feel

I wanted to write a poem
But it still hurts too much

I wanted to listen to that song
I thought I was ready
To hear the sound
That I once shared with you

I wanted to listen to that song
But I cry when I do

I wanted to check up on you
To see how you are
Have you gone far?
Do you miss me
As much as I miss you

I wanted to check up on you
But I forgot to check up on myself

I wanted to write a poem
And here I am
Doing exactly that
I hope you're happy
But don't come back

This came across as having a vibe of that Neruda poem about "being able to to write the saddest verses", which makes it all the more fantastic! I love what you're doing in it, I love the narrative. It's simply sublime! WOW! Well done!
