I Gave You My Trust: a Poem About Heartbreak

I am always fascinated on the power of lyricism and poetry. This poem is inspired by stories about experiences at Silliman Bea

What need to be done, has been done

I moved away

I am staying away

And I will keep it that way

There will be no fixing to what has happened to us

I gave you my trust

I gave you my love

But I guess, all of that was not enough

You are happy with someone new

I get it

You don’t need to shove it in my face

10 PM selfies

3 PM Coffees

With all the hashtags and hearts emojis

Keeping reminders in social media

Poetries and tweets

How she is so sweet

How you love her so much

How you wanted to be, by her side, always

Because I have done all of that

That could have been me in your IG profile

But, we are through, and I am certain!

I am over you

I am sure about it

You are not that important

I can find somebody else

Taller

Smarter

And has a good sense of humor

Even, someone who is athletic

Because if you thought you could further break me?

You are wrong

I am strong

I am not weak

Call me the phoenix

Because out of the ashes

I can rise above everything

I am free

Free to do the things I want

By my self

And without any judgment

By myself

Alone, sleeping in my bed

And just to set things straight

I am alone but not lonely

Peaches is with me

My cat

She will never leave

Unlike the person that once I knew

Colored my world with promises

Then burns them

With deceit

The lies

I cried

Yes I cried

You broke me

Let my pain be your trophy

Let my pain make you look Superman

I am Lex Luther

I am the villain

Let my pain make you happy

Yes I am crying

You hurt me

But give me time

I will heal

And I will prove to you I am strong
