What You Never Knew

A free verse poem

By Amber Alisa Published 5 years ago 2 min read

I have never met anyone in this world that makes my head spin quite like the way you do. You have the ability to turn my heart of stone into a melting puddle right when you walk through the door. But you wouldn't know any of that. Never would you know that when I see your face my heart skips a beat and just for a moment I forget how to breathe. You wouldn't know this because we never speak anymore.

Face to face that is.

You see my heart aches knowing that behind all those late night dates and plans. All the cell phone texts, Facebook messages, and Snapchat conversations, that to me where so special, they were always and only going to be temporary to you.

You. I thought it was always going to be you. Through all the tears and sorrow it was always your voice that could kill the pain for me. You were the only one that I have ever opened up to and let my heart pour out like a river onto your bedroom floor.

But maybe I was to much and now you aren't here to help clean up the mess I made. That river of emotion that I showed you is now slowly ceasing to exist anymore. In fact the only rivers that happen now are the ones that stain my bedroom pillow as I pour out the secrets of my heart about how much I miss you.

Blind. You were so blind to think that I would never want you, that I didn't need you because the truth is that I do. Forgotten memories, that is all you and I are anymore, because you have moved on and I am here left by myself with a heart full of broken trust and promises. Yet I can't help but to lay awake at night hoping that you will come back to me.

Seasons pass by and people change, and I know for a fact that I have changed because I am slowly moving on from you. Like my cigarette that I desire to quit you slowly burn away, and with every breath I take you become less addictive, and I slowly give you up.

You see my heart has reversed the damage that you caused and now all I am left with is this chilling revelation that you, I, and all of our memories are no more.

Stop!

Don't send me those Facebook messages and expect me to reply, because I know that I will fall for you again. The way that you tease me and the way you know how I used to love all the jokes that you told, because you were the only one that had the ability to make me laugh those days.

Stop!

No, I said stop.

Because I don't love you anymore.
