How long has it been? Months and years Could have flashed by In an instant or second, Or in my intake of breath As you pass, as sharp As the dagger you twist Deep within. Unknowing, your glance Forgets me, as though I am but an ornament, Given with thought Yet unwanted, unnecessary. I sit hoping and waiting, Gathering dust, Now broken. Has it only been days Since we lost each other? Time ceases to exist Now I cannot feel your Warmth or touch, And stretches out An eternity alone. Your memory has returned again… Please let me forget. I cannot live or breathe, Do anything, While it smoulders.
Reason for writing:
My ex-boyfriend. I couldn't stop thinking about him and it was driving me insane. Comments and constructive criticism very welcome... Em x
