No relationship is a failure if we can learn something from it. However, after the relationship has ended we might not see this, and we dwell on sadness.
I’ve written the poem “Utter disappointment” after a breakup when my emotions bubbled up.
How can I pretend I’m fine
When shivers come down my spine?
Where am I to draw the line?
In front of your feelings or mine?
I just put a brave face on
When I know I have to move on,
Past the illusions I came from.
Things are not the way they used to be,
I’m now swimming in my own misery,
Waiting for a wave to come and sweep me,
Because I don’t want to live off of memories.
Our love seems dead, nourishing us no more,
I feel the chilly wind from down your core,
What are we to fight for?
All 60 seconds have left the minute score,
Thus imprisoning us in a timeless bore.
The heartbeat of our song
Still echoes in my head,
While she’s a living image
Of the past I thought was dead.
My tears have turned to ash,
Our gain into trash,
I feel like I’ve begun to crush
Everything important I was holding in my stash.
Even though our time
Has been well spent,
We have to be sublime
In utter disappointment.
