The stages of heartbreak

 

Do not hold my hand like you used to

Your touch would burn me too much

Do not kiss me anymore

For with no love, it means nothing

As you told me what I feared the most

I braced myself for the times to come

But brace yourself as much as you want

The hurt does not dissever so easily

It laches onto your soul

Sucking out the life in you

Leaving nothing but a hollow shell

Broken, neglected and lost…

 

The ocean still moves back and forth

Life goes on,

Everyone moves forward

While you stay put

Trying to pick up the pieces of what was took

As you begin to lose the best parts of you

They’ve won; they got the best of you

 

You have to stop it after some time

You begin to heal

The wounds that were once so fresh start to stich up

Sadness turns to anger anger leads to acceptance

When you accept you grow

You learn to forget, but never forgive

They left you, you think

They deserve to be forgotten

To become nothing more than a few memories

Trying to remember the bad, to forget the good
