i want to write a poem
that makes you remember every time
you thought you were in love with me
and every time you told yourself
that you'd feel that forever

i want to write a poem
that makes you feel like your heart's internal bomb
has just exploded
and you are taken to another planet
on a rocketship of guilt

i want to write a poem
that sounds like pulling your hair from the scalp
because i want to
make you feel all the hurt
that i go to sleep to

i want to write a poem
that for one moment makes you as miserable
as i am every day
without you

Author's Note: this poem says it all. i smile after i read it because i'm really suprised at how clearly it represents exactly how i feel.
