I Thought

I thought that I was over you,
I thought I was OK
but then you started dating HER
and things burst in disarray.

Everything came tumbling down
and no hands were there to help.
This time instead of having you:
alone, I start to melt.

Engulfed I am in a bright RED sea
of blood and salty tears.
What the HELL is wrong with me?
“Just leap from sunken piers”

I miss the time we had; too short!
Too many regrets, can’t we restart?
I’d still welcome you back
with open arms and forgiving heart

But you don’t want me do you?
That’s the whole point!
You don’t miss me, you don’t care.
You’d rather be disjoint

I never got used to having a boyfriend
and I will never understand having an ex
But you’ll still be my valentine
no matter what you wreck.
