Words For You

over three months after the break up, i went to a football game with my new boyfriend. once alone, the first person i ran into was Matt. and it killed me

It's been three months and eleven days.
Quite some time since that 25th of May.
That was the day I lost my heart.
That's when you broke it, tore my world apart.
You cut me off, just threw me away.
I haven't seen you since, until yesterday.
When I walked in, you were the first one I saw.
Our eyes met, and I felt my heart fall.
You were there all night, eyes always on me.
Every time I looked up, you were all I could see.
Seeing you there, it made my heart ache,
Because I still love you, with every breath I take.
I tossed and turned all night, dreaming of you.
I woke up sick and crying, I don't know what to do.
I'm sick to my stomach, I have no appetite.
I can hardly breathe, all I can do is cry.
After all these months, I still can't understand.
You showed your love for me, wanted a ring on my hand.
You promised me forever, together til the end.
But you left me for her, my ex-best friend.
And even now, though the world still spins 'round,
My world is still over, my tears still fall down.
And even these words, are just words on a page.
I can't explain what I feel, show you this pain.
I'm with someone new, and though I love him so.
My heart longs for you, for the love I used to know.
I long for your touch, for your laugh, for your smile.
I miss you too much, so I run for miles.
I run and run, and try to forget.
But it never works, my heart will never mend.
So these words, on this page, are written for you.
And these words, this poem, can't explain what in my heart is true.

I like the rhyme scheme of this, it's strong but does not feel labored. I also like the continuous, dense structure. It gives the poem a strong assault and also a stream-of-consciousness feel that is very personal and quite raw. However, it is delicately worded and expressed. Nice rhythm, good solid writing, emotional without being self-indulgent, good balance of strong emotion but well restrained in a disciplined form.
