Alone

A poem i wrote a few months after a break-up realising how alone i was.

Alone.

A year ago
I would still have you
At the glance of a tear
You’d be there,
comforting…
At the flash of a smile
You’d be there,
Laughing simultaneously

Silence.

A year ago
A rainbow of words between us
Everything and nothing in
endless time
Lost in ourselves
Nothing there
But for
You;
Me;
Our love
Swallowed up in ecstasy

Now I sit here
Alone
In silence
Dwelling on the memories
Flashes; Blurs
Laughs
Smiles
Kisses
Hugs

Tears
Conflicts
Wounds
Break-ups

…Tears

Then I remember
The small crack
Piercing through the centre
When things went from good to bad;
Pure bliss to terrible doom

The love I had for you

Split

Through no choice of my own
The separation of our lives
And so I sit here.

Alone
