The Last Day Poem by faith toney

The day I walked away from you
was the most painful day of my life
harder than any death
I was lost in weakness
but I was strong
I made it through for a while
until one day I cracked
I felt the pain once more over come me
I didn’t know what to do
for I didn’t want you back
but I wanted the best for us
I couldn’t explain to myself nor my friends
what was occurring
my life falling from this high
you had remade what I lost
I didn’t want to lose it again
I had decided you weren’t worth the pain
I had wanted so much more
but why am I haunted by what was or could be
I don’t need this, I cant take this
I’ll take the pain to the grave if I must
as long as it stays hidden
I will find a way to push it all back
my mask is glued to my face
so my loved ones to stay far apart from this awful regret
I will hurt myself to save others
the day I walked away from you
was my last day of exposed pain
