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
