Out Of My System Poem by Marcquiese Burrell

Late night conversations have came to an end
Hours spent cooking up blissful fantasies now cease to exist
Doesn't reality seem irrational?
Cutting myself off from the real world to live in my dreams...
Oh, How wonderful it would be?
Before... everything seemed so perfect
And, suddenly...one day, It all just strucked me like a lightening bolt
For that moment, I lost my sanity... starting to behave as a five year old...
demanding for my favorite toy at the store... finally realizing...
That, I must come to terms with reality... The breakup sinks in my conscience,
as I try and find unimaginable ways to make it work.
For the five months I have been with you... I experienced, nothing but hell!
One thing I need to learn is.... Whenever you breakup with a partner...
The relationship ended for good and it should remain that way...
Got to cut the contact completely.... Instead of going around hoping...
of remaing friends forever... means, I got to erase your number, delete
your email address, and keep your name out my mouth
whenever I'm talking to friends... even if I have to cry, shout, scream, or
indulge in self-pity... I'll do whatever it is I have to just to get
you out of my system... one day I wake up and I'm smiling
because the bitter feelings is out of my system
no longer disturbing me, no longer holding me back! from
finding that new someone who.... will make me happy.
