Pretty when you cry

Breakup poem again...

By KodahPublished 2 years ago โ€ข 1 min read

Even though I never physically met him, I still feel like I lost a piece of myself.

7 months didn't feel that long at all...

I told him I'd wait for him one day. That's all I do.

It's okay, I'm pretty when I cry.

I backed away after realising it didn't weigh on his heart as it did on mine.

I guess they'll always end up leaving the one who actually cared for you~

~

I haven't stopped listening to Lana Del Rey's song "Pretty When You Cry" since the breakup :/

    Lovely when you stop crying, though pretty when you cry. Moving on is hard, but time takes care of it all. Love yourself while you wait for your heart to mend.

    Your use of pretty when I cry here really brings it home.

    Lana Del Ray is perfect for breakups, speaking from prior experience. Nice poem but so sorry about what you're going through.
