Poetry Corner: Gone

Poetry Corner: Writing poems to heal from heartache.

I am stronger than this, I am so much stronger than you

My heart does matter, I don't deserve thinking different

Your past is something I cannot fight til I am blue

I guess from the very beginning we knew we weren't meant

The heart in your chest, so bitter, cold, and cruel

No magician am I, I should have known I'm nothing special

Knowing that staying together was a forsaken duel

I'm letting you go, so you can have your space

Being ignored, I won't be upset. Tin Man I am once more

I won't give you drama, I can't give you heartache

I am human, I cannot settle for one who will bore

The razor blade only in my mind, but still so sharp

No pleasure of the running blood, still so warm

This addiction I've overcome, as I will your replaceable part

I've endured the pouring rain, just as I will this storm

Looking at the glass in my hand, hoping it breaks

Looking for a reason, an excuse, to be the failure you think

I guess me knowing my worth will lower the stakes

More important am I, than your need to drink

Three years for me probably wasn't a long enough break

A poem that you won't read, the only way for me to be heard

Tears that you don't care to see, make me wish I didn't feel

My naivety and hope has already been cured

Hope is for beginners who haven't lived life
