No tears for you
This might be hard to understand
Hard to comprehend
Hard to accept that I’m not broken
That the torture did nothing to sway me
I am not your love poem
I am not your forgotten book
I am not your broken verse
Nor your possession
I have no tears for you
No tears to spare this occasion
You did not earn my brokenness
You could not even throw the stone
I was just a melody in your mind
Played over and over and over again
Until you bored of its song
Erased my name from your playlist
But I have no tears for you
Your song was merely a segue
A lesson learned along the way
One step closer to finding my chorus

I'm a Grad student now studying Biochemistry and Biophysics (not sure how I got there). I guess I've been using this site for nearly 8 years now though sometimes I went years without writing much of anything. I write what I feel and I write what I need to let go of. Sometimes I write about a dream or a nightmare I had, If I can tell the difference. I fell in love for poetry in high school and continued to write in college. I hope to publish a book someday as well (leave a comment if a poem speaks to you). P.S. My Instagram is @CottonCandyPoems
