Jaded

a poem about heartbreak, romanticization, and a twinkle of hope

Alas, two weeks has passed

yet it feels like just yesterday

My heart you cached

I wonder in two months if I will feel just as abandoned 

I know in two years I'll have thrown the thought away

Just as I demanded

Quite the pair are we

Beautiful once

Now extremely ugly 

Not lovely like I planned

A vision of you

It was worth a million grand

I was jaded in my own way

Nowhere to visit, nowhere to stay

I let the vision of you turn me gray

The one that would take me away

Nowhere to run, nowhere to play

The vision I had of you had faded

Taken over by someone else and entirely eradicated 

Again I am completely disturbed, infatuated 

Not with you

It's something new

It's me, tending to the tree

You described heartbreak so well in this. I think there's always a little candle still glowing inside at the end of a relationship you thought would last forever.

Tending to the tree? Not sure I got that.

Great writing. :)
