I Erase You

A poem about my ex, also posted on my blog so nobody can steal it. My poetry is deeply personal which is why I keep it mainly to myself despite the fact I'm talented.

I ERASE YOU                 May 9, 2010

I erase you.
I erase your smile,
I remember my tears,
I erase our laughter
throughout these years.
I erase the memory of the feel of your touch.
I erase the kisses I once longed for so much.
I embrace the agony, then erase the pain,
these last three years were all spent in vain.
You abandoned my a*s when I needed you the most.
I make myself forget you as I try to coast.
I think of the details for me to erase,
the warmth of your body, the shape of your face.
It was still us against the world to me that day.
But you left me to fend for myself, so you threw it all away.
I would've stuck by you through almost anything, dear.
But by abandoning me, you made your lack of love clear.
I'm out here on my own again, you left me all alone.
And now there's no way in hell I'll let you come back home.
So now I strive to erase you, I leave you behind.
I know you'll look for me soon, and you're out of your mind.
I erase the tickling, I erase the joy.
I was nothing to you but some little toy.
I erase it all, I erase our past.
I erase what I knew would never last.
I love you still, but this I know,
the time has come to let you go.


Goodbye Jeff.
I erase you.

awwwwwwwwwwwww mist get it all out girl you deserve better then him

it does that. I write not to amuse, but to express emotion. some people cut, some people shoot at stuff, some people do drugs. I write poems. they pick up and drop off as the flow of emotion does. I'm a complicated person, what can i say?

that was very good. that's something that most people can relate with, and you conveyed it masterfully. unfortunately, your flow starts to falter during the middle, so you might want to look into that.
