And She Dies

by Nicole M. - Gemini

She dies
  just a little bit
when she hears his name
She dies
   just a little more each day
 with a wiff of his cologne

She feels her heart
 try to jump out of herself
when she hears how much
  he's in love

She knows
  she shouldn't hurt
she knows
  all the words
She knows
   how sad she must seem
She knows
   she needs to move on
  get over this broken dream
But she knows
   how it felt
to get loved by that man
And she knows
   how much she misses it

She gets up every morning
  looks in the mirror
says I never thought I'd take it this way
It's so much easier
  to tell people how to feel
When you're not
 feeling it yourself.
