Dear Girl of my Dreams
A poem about changed people
Dera Girl of my Dreams
I guess I can’t really call you that anymore
Given the living nightmare that you caused
Ensnaring every part of my life
Eating every part of my will
And throwing away what I held precious
Dear Girl of my Dreams
I don’t understand why you did what you did
I never will
It escapes every realm of reality I posses
Every explanation I come up with
Every little thought that could reason
Not one bit
Dear Girl of my Dreams
You fucking hurt me
You tore out my heart
Threw away my plans
And eviscerated the little self confidence
You helped me build up
And left me a shell of a man for months
To the point that I still have PTSD
From seeing the clock hit 4:28
Dear Girl of my Dreams
Despite everything that happened
All the heartache
And consecutive “far-less-than-” sober nights
And days
I still hope that what you did made you happier
Because that’s all I ever wanted
Was for you to be happy
It’s still what I want
Dear Girl of my Dreams
I forgive you
I forgive you for all the good memories tarnished
For the pain you caused
And for the pan that your memory will cause me
Because life is far too short to hold a grudge
Dear Girl of my Dreams
Make NO mistake:
I may forgive but I will not forget
There are far too many beautiful lessons
In this searing pain
And for that I am grateful
Dear Girl of my Dreams
I hope you get everything you want in this life
I hope you are happy beyond compare
I hope you are happier without me in your life
But I don't want to hear about it
Dear Girl
I forgive you
And I do not think there is a future for us
Romantically or not
But there is still a sliver of me that hopes
The Universe proves me wrong
But until or if that even happens:
I forgive you, please stay far away from me
