The Worst Of It Poem by Nikki Taboada

A pain for the love that once was
But is now gone
A pain for the time that was once precious
But is now just a bitter memory
The worst of is that I see him everyday
And I can’t even look him in the eye

A pain for the calls that lasted hours
But now never even occur
A pain for every hug that made me feel safe
But now only forces me under the crashing waves
The worst of it is that I still love him
And he doesn’t even care

A pain for times I knew I loved him
But never spoke it aloud
A pain for all the times I missed him
But never knew how much I would soon TRULY miss him
The worst of it is I still remember all the times we spent together
And realize that he doesn’t
