I (shouldn't) Love You (anymore)

Old entry for the "poetry month" contest on figment. A letter to an ex.

Dear...



First glimpse

A sea of deep brown

Something in my chest

Struggles to break out

Those eyes

deep brown

Looking to the expected

Always with a guy

Some guy

That didn't deserve the grace of

Finally the words came forth

But not directly

You said you felt the same


We were happy

Then you ruined it

Everything

I sank into a black void

and still

I am sinking

I want you to tell me

that you don't love me

any other way

I'll only sink further

Too much hope

To be logically possible

Please

Just make the hope go away

Crush me

In the only way that hurts the most

So that I

Can find the strength to pick up the pieces.


Sincerely...
