When He Walks Away Poem by Brianna Wilshusen

We fell in love,
We were together.
I thought it would last forever,
He left.

It killed inside,
It tore me in two.
Depressed I grew,
All I did was hide.

He came back years later,
My love had never faded.
His love was gone from him,
Broken inside, I had to hide.

Once more alone and once more cold,
But once again returned did he.
Each time he left I tore apart,
Each time he went I cried.

I never learned until five years later
When my love was even stronger than the start.
Once more my love returned to me-
This time I held no expectations.

I knew it meant nothing to him,
I knew he didn't care.
I was just the only one there
To pretend to love.

I saw him and my heart burst
My love was begging to be said.
I refused myself and the words I held
Said nothing until he was gone.

Now he is miles away
Far to far for me to follow!
Words cannot express my confusion
Why did I say nothing?

I showed him my love, but words hid inside.
He went away still, even though I stayed away.

I broke each and every time I saw his face,
Each time he had to leave.
I broke a little more inside.

This time I broke harder.
I cried- I died- I lied for him.
I cracked, I fell, I shattered.
On the floor
Beside the door
As I watched him walk away.

Broken. Unfixable. Destroyed.
I have nothing left to give.
I see-feel him,
All around me.

He was all my heart for over five years
And he left me broken like this.
He turned me into what I am today
Does he deserve my love or hate for such a thing?

Heart gone black, hatred overwhelming
But for him my heart still cries.
Confused and hurt, lonely and sad,
Broken because of him.
As he justs walks away...
