Broken Poem by C.S. Keskuela

i knew that this time i would have to lose
but i didn't imagine it would be so difficult
to let go
impossible to move forward
holding on to hope that doesn't exist

help me, tell me how

while at the same time i leave another
i cannot live a lie
i would rather die
than live smothered and numb
from love anymore

but you...you have broken me
and now i don't know how to put myself back together
in your shadow day in and day out
yet hating the days i don't see you
it might be easier if i knew
if what i believed wasn't true
but you see, i do know
that you are....
