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.
