Missing Piece Poem by Esmiie Carter

I remember when we first met, I remember when we first talked. I remember all of of our inside jokes and all of our late night talks.
Three months later...
You never text or talk to me anymore. I guess you've made some new changes and one of them was me. I used to be the one who made you complete.
Until, you found someone better and replaced me. Your just a stranger I used to know; funny story we share some really good memories.
Nowadays, we pass each other in the halls. You don't even stop and say 'Hello'
I'm slowly starting to fade into the dark.
Seeing you with her instead of me is slowly suffocating me. I fake a smile so you won't see... that deep down it's killing me.
Can't you see that were slowly drifting apart?
I loved you and you loved me. We could be who we wanted to be.
You made me happy, I fell for you.
But, I guess now that picture doesn't include me.
I miss rolling over and waking up to your bright smile. But, most of all I miss waking up with a smile on my face.
I know... life isn't a wish well, you don't always get what you wish for. But, this is reality and I have to open my teary eyes and see what life is going to bring me.
Without you.
The sad thing is that my heart isn't a book. it will take a while to open it up to someone new.

People ask me why I'm always quiet. I look up and say 'Oh, It's nothing'. The sky stays the same. All dark and gloomy.

Flashbacks play through my head and I spot some tears running down my cheek; while the ocean is laughing at me with everyone else.
I shut the whole world out of my life and plug in my headphones and ignore for the night.

I know I'm not as skinny or pretty as her. But, most of all I want to be heard. I know I'm your old toy you used to crave. You killed the good that was left in me. Now is the time to start over new.
Please don't come running back saying 'I LOVE YOU'.
When you open your eyes, and realize I don't want you.
