The Stages of Us
5 Short Poems from One Relationship
A Thin Line
I hate you
A part of me hates you
It's not a decision I consciously came to
Loving you is something I seem to do
But they’ve come as a two
I hate you
For what you make me do
And you make me love you
Guilt
Guilt, with some actions it is in built
What I did wasn’t wrong
But now you’ve lied
And when the time comes I’ll have to play along
The secrets you’ve told
I’ll keep them safe
But I hope she’s easily sold
On my fake smile
Because for you I’ll try
But forced smiles only last for a while
Goodbye
Today I said goodbye
I finally found the courage to say goodbye
I don't know why, when it was all expected
I still feel so dejected
We were both unhappy
That was easy to see
But I still hoped you might fight
That part of you would want to fight for me
1:07 AM
It’s 1:07 I’m sat drinking and writing poetry alone.
In a place that’s not my home.
Yet somehow, I’m in the zone.
When did I become nomadic?
When did alcohol start to do the trick?
Why with every word I write,
Do my messed-up insides want to cry?
Recovery
Today was a good day
I enjoyed talking to you
Without longing for you
Today was a good day
Because I realised just friends
Wasn’t so far away.
