(Too Good to Be True) Excerpt Out of a Book I'll Never Write. A Poem of the First Love of My Life Leaving and the Pain I Felt Behind It

Nights like these makes my mind wander to places I’d rather not be. In a dark little corner that I don’t want to see.

It’s saying it’s okay and comforting me in the darkness. Not trying to give in, still trying to fight this.

Did you ever love me? Was I not enough? Or was that all shattered when you packed up all my stuff?

When did you realize you’d rather stay with her? When did you decide to make our memories a blur?

Oh please, oh please, the thoughts are getting darker . The thoughts in my head leaving me starker.

You said you’d never leave, how stupid was I, To not realize sooner that I was living in a lie.

You said that I was being jealous and that it was all in my head, Little did I know I shouldn’t have believed a word you had said.

Because now you’re gone and there she is . All she ever wanted was to be his.

My thoughts are screaming now, they’re getting stronger. I don’t really know if I can take this much longer.

I can’t believe this ever happened, I thought you were the love of my life. I always thought we’d make it through, that maybe one day you’d call me your wife.

But then we met her, and I thought we’d be fine, Not even realizing that she was standing next in line.

The darkness is winning, my demons overjoyed; They knew the weaknesses I couldn’t avoid.

I need to cut, cry, scream, smoke, Anything to help me forget the last words you spoke.

Tonight I lay myself down and will dream of you. But you’ll never know that, not even a clue. Because you stopped talking to me, like they always do, I guess I always knew it was too good to be true.
