This is one of my favorite pieces. It is still a work in progress, it doesn't say what I want it to say, completely. I want the end to leave you feeling more like their was a lesson learned through a difficult break up and now a better person has come forth from the experience. To me it feels like it takes you to the edge of a cliff and you drop off. Like Superman, I want to coast you to the bottom of the poem softly and safely.
Life goes on...
Yes, even after you!
Although I can’t believe what you put me
through--
It was cool at first; we were inseparable.
But, we were never friends.
We only lied to ourselves;
And each other thinking it would work out
Now we’re lonely and miserable
Using others as a way out.
I learned a lot, how ‘bout you?
I learned what I will and won’t do.
I learned there is the greater love of living
life after you.
