Betrayal
I feel like I’m in a body thats not mine
Feeling nauseous and queasy at the same time
Looking back in the timeline trying to find a sign
Yet I still don’t understand what happened with the girl I called mine
I gave her my everything
Even thought of a wedding ring
Gave her my time and patience
I could feel how strong she felt complacence
I hugged her, kissed her
Everyone knew me as this girl’s mister
We were so happy together
Talked about possibly being forever
I thought she was beautiful, treated her like a queen
Thought that she was the most wonderful human being
Some might even say I was being too extreme
But I they'd be lying if they said I wasn’t living a dream
That's when she left me all abrupt
I felt my insides self destruct
I thought everything was going fine
But she never liked me the entire time
And now this girl was no longer mine
I was just hoping I could rewind time
To bring back the memories
To bring back the remedies
of her perfume
Remembering how it fill up the room
Remembering when I would gaze in her eyes
Remembering how it lit up the skies
Remembering hugging her close
Kissing her on her nose
Staring at her makeup
Wishing we could make up
Why’d we have to break up
Wishing we could stay together and stay up
And stare at the stars
Hear the moving cars
Grab each others’ arms
Be each others’ alarm
Gaze in our eyes
Stare at the fireflies
Stare at the Sun’s dying light
Now I wish we could reignite
With the flame we had
Nothing seemed bad
The way you always lightened my mood
Maybe I seemed a little too rude
You were my fire, my light,
My warmth on a cold night
you made me Shawn
And without you, I’m just an ember in the midst of dawn...

This poem was made in the midst of a heartbreak that I went through which tore me to pieces. I keep this poem with me to remind me about how hard it was to push through such a difficult time and I realize how grateful I am that I was able to.
