Poetry Room

 

I didn’t think our friendship would last
So I was shocked when you kept calling
after we didn’t work together.

You told me you wanted to keep in touch
To still be friends
That our friendship would be a real one.

I pretended that it didn’t matter

You told me you loved me
You told me you’d never leave me.

I told you I was fine without you
I told you I understood why you were leaving.

I didn’t.
You did.

 

Going deep in these poems is making me figure out things that I hadn’t completely faced on my own. I plan on going back to writing actual blog posts to go along with #shewrites2016 tomorrow, so we’ll go back to our originally scheduled programming then. The poetry still will be part of it, but I need more prose in my life too.
