The Rewritten Poem

This is just a sappy little poem from a few years back! Hope you enjoy!

I remember the day we realized we had the same favorite song

It felt like you had seen straight into my brain

Like you were able to break me down and read me like a book

And we promised we'd be forever

But we both know that even the best songs have to have an ending

And my cheeks went from rosy red, to matted bruises left from the imprint of your lips

So, I put on my armor, grabbed the person I had become, and fled off into the night

And you told me I would regret leaving

You told me I'd be back

And maybe you're right

But let me tell you...our song was on the radio

And I didn't feel a single sting when I heard it

And in a few years all of my skin cells will be replaced

And it will be like your heartbreaking hands never touched my face at all

Author's Note

I saw a prompt to rewrite a poem. I chose it because when I first started writing I started by doing rewrites..so I decided to rewrite one of my rewrites for this post!
