Stitches That I Still Need To Sew

His name,
it slips off my tongue like turpentine,
as I sit here in shame,
and pretend to be fine.

I thought he loved me,
I thought he cared,
I miss how things used to be,
I miss the moments that we shared.

Things were so great,
until that day,
when who I thought was my soul-mate,
got fed up and walked away.

I see him with someone new at school,
It hurts so bad,
I feel like a fool
I feel so so sad.

That day that we broke up,
I overreacted big time,
I flipped out,
at the drop of a dime.

I took a lot of these random pills,
when they found out they rushed me to the emergency room,
My sister was scared because she knew overdosing could kill,
The doctor said I was fifteen minutes from a tomb,

Its hard to move on after a relationship that was so long,
I need to let go,
but our love was so strong,
my heart is full of stitches that i still need to sew.

This poem is about a break up that i went through. i hope that people will read this and realize that the only reason to recover from a break up is to let the wounds heal. Drugs, alcohol, or suicide is not the answer, it doesn't solve anything.
