gonna upload my whole poetry portfolio but this is the one I like the most, for context this is about my first love and just how I feel about the relationship yk.
i loved you so much, and I think I always will.
you were my family, my heart to fill.
you taught me love, a soulmate's embrace,
yet now there's just emptiness in your place.
i erased you, but you're permanent still,
a shadow etched against my will.
sadness, guilt, for breaking our thread,
i miss you in moments, words unsaid.
i miss the hugs, the talks, the care,
your "I love you" texts, always there.
but I don’t miss the pain you gave,
the lies, the person I couldn’t save.
we’ve done better, apart, alone,
yet I still ache for the bond we’d grown.
years have passed, and I wonder why
you still linger, like a distant cry.
i left when you needed me the most,
for my own needs, I turned to ghost.
all I want is closure, a final say,
to heal these wounds and walk away.
you’re doing well, i’ve seen it clear,
straight As, success, your destined sphere.
i should feel joy for all you achieve,
but I’m stuck, unable to grieve.
i built a fantasy, a love untrue,
blinded by what I wanted from you.
we hurt each other, broke apart,
yet you’re still a whisper within my heart.
in my mind, you’re perfect, a star,
yet the real you feels so far.
maybe in another life, we’d align,
but not in this one, not this time.
we’re in the same room, but worlds away,
friendly faces, with nothing to say.
i see you, and my heart still stirs,
but I fear the past, those wounds, those spurs.
perhaps i’ll never fully move on,
yet somehow, i know i’ve grown strong.
i’ll carry the love, the pain, the ache,
but I’ll build a life without the break.
and if we meet on the path someday,
i hope we’ll both have found our way.
no more mourning, no love untrue
just peace within, a me without you.
