Breathe Poem by Jamaica Alston

Close your eyes
inhale-exhale
imagine the world without you.
Stop!
Things can't be that bad; they just feel that way.
Unexplainable
No one will know how i hurt when
you gave my heart
back to me. I guess this means we're through.
I'm sorry if i ever made you feel unwanted
and I'm sorry for complaining about simple things.
I mean this when I say this; I had an
amazing time with you.
You made me feel pretty for once
and I haven't felt that in a long time.
I know you will have no problem finding
someone else and making
her feel as special as you did for me.
But I guess that's whats killing me.
Knowing that I won't have you and knowing
that you probably don't care anymore.
But that's selfish of me too, and I'm sorry.
You should move on because I'm not worth
wasting your time.
I don't even know why you stayed as long as you did.
So I wish you the best of luck.
But now I breathe
I breathe because Its the only thing left that I can do.
Breathe
Inhale-Exhale
