My Former Everything


She was a stranger
I admired her from afar
The most beautiful person I'd ever seen
But too afraid to say a word
-
She was a new friend
An optimistic person too
Who brought sunshine to my life
Made me feel like I'd be fine
-
She was my true love
We'd stay up late and talk about dreams
We both loved Kanye and other inspiring things
I imagined how we'd spend the rest of our lives
-
She was ashamed of me
In public she wouldn't even say hello
On twitter she'd unlike her favorite posts
Probably so her boyfriend wouldn't know
-
She was touched
By the fact that I had confessed
She was affectionate for about a week
But reality soon came inbetween
-
We were friends
We checked in with each other once in awhile
She even wished me happy birthday
That was the last time I talked to her
-
She's now a stranger
But now instead of love I feel
I just remember constant heartbreak
Knowing we would never be
But sticking around just to see

Entertainer. Creative person. Comedian out of necessity. Lives to make people happier. Lived in and around Detroit my whole life. Don't really have a purpose. I know a lot of my poems are kinda messy/aren't technically great (I welcome cinstructive criticism) but that's because I usually just write things out as a form of venting and self expression.
