This Poem Is About You

this poem is about you

written by: Alyssa Brocker

@Atelgy

i never thought you would be a memory

and

are we just going to ignore the fact
that we’re meant for each other?

maybe you can only fall in love
when you’re

1              8

barely knowing what
love
is

there’s a lot of
Messed                                            Up
things

in my life,

but

you were my favorite

most of the time your first love

disappoints

you

i just wanted you

and

you just wanted to be

right

i

don’t want to think

about you ever

again

the only thing i can be is
honest

we were terrible for
each other

but,

everything feels
wrong
without
you

and all i feel is

empty

and all you feel is

her

and
we’ll both be in the
same bar
and
not
say hi to
each other

the leaves dance
and fall
and
i’m just thinking about how i
lost
it all

and
i thought i
was in love with
him

and
you think you’re
in love with
her

but,

if it’s

love

should we really have to think about

it
