Rayven__ Poem by Hailey Elizabeth

I've been down each road,
hoping to see you there.
I've seen things that reminded me,
of our special bond.

You were the one that changed me.
You were the one that showed me how to love.
You were the one that made my days.
You were the one that was there for me every step of the way.
You were the one that loved me unconditionally.

But then I did it,
and, oh, how I regret it.
I wonder how you could still look at me,
and not be disgusted.
I sit in my room and think about you,
and how you can talk to me,
without crying.
I sensed the pain.
I could feel your heart break every second.
I felt the hatred, and the betrayal you felt.

Almost 2 months have gone by.
We're like friends that never had a problem.
Never betrayed each other.
We kissed, occasionally.
We talked about our feelings, occasionally.
But, I doubt we'll be the same.
It's nice to pretend.

I remember us,
before it all happened.
I remember us,
before I slipped up.
I remember us,
and the love we shared.

My world has gone up in flames without you.
And I've realized that I'm not worth a thing.
We speak of day old hate,
but it makes me hate our separation more.

I can keep wait for the day.
The day that can wipe the slate clean.
I can lock my heart away,
kept safe and sound.
But if I do, I'll get my hopes up.
So, it's never safe to say I love you,
but I can't help myself.
And I know you may not mean it,
but it's nice for it to be said in return.

I thought we were meant to be.
I figured nothing could tear us apart.
I understand your sadness.
I guess I should just hold my tongue.
