Replaced By You Poem by Tiffani Williams

Choking on the lies you fed me.
Air quickly leaving me.
Dying slowly inside
Because you kill me.
Everything I ever knew.
Everything I cared for
Left me and it was as simple as opening a door
Taking a step out of my life.
Cutting my air supply
Limiting how real my laugh can be
Taking everything away from me.
Theres nothing else to find.
Nothing I can look for will ever replace.
The memories left behind.
Haunted by the memories
I hold so dear, so tight
Like maybe they just might
Slip away
And perhaps that’s what I need.
But I’ll never forget you.
Like you so quickly forgot me.
Theres nothing that can convince me
That things will get better.
Denial can supply me with only so much life.
Not enough to make it by.
Not near enough.
To replace your touch.
I’d die for just one more hug.
I’d give everything up
To die in your arms and never knowing.
It wasn’t true
Back to when I believed so ignorantly.
Id explode for just one more day
One more minute that I could believe
That you cared.
The spark inside me,
The one for you
Replaced my spark of life.
