Time

Healing after young love

By Zoe AntinoriPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

You know, its funny…

Time.

One day youre perfect

and everything feels fine

Then the next you’re a mess,

Curled up in a ball

and totally a wreck.

Breakups are weird,

Because what do you mean it happened?

Everything I feared?

You promised me love,

That you would give me your heart

And now I’m standing here alone,

And I dont know where to start.

Healing’s a bitch.

And I know it takes time,

But I just dont understand how you’re not mine.

Where did things go wrong?

What did I miss?

Were you thinking those things the last time we kissed?

Or how about the last time we laughed,

What about then?

Were you really thinking that this is where we end?

Because I want to know.

What could I do?

When all I ever did was truly love you?

I know your hurting, I know its not just me

But how can you just simply be?

I dont get it

Its not fair

Why do I still question if you even care?

No contact in weeks,

Yet it feels like forever

I just cant comprehend why we’re not together.

I know what happened was nobody's fault

but still somehow it makes no sense at all.

I gave you my all

I gave you my heart

And now im sitting here

Torn apart.

I was fine before,

Happy even

Then you came along and

Now im defeated.

I was healing

I was growing

I was taking the time

But then you walked in

And messed with my mind.

Scrambled like a plate of eggs

I broke down in tears

A pain I haven’t felt in so many years

I was okay, I swear

Before i saw your face…

Now I’ve gone backwards

And I know its not a race

But how can you move on

without even a trace?

heartbreak
