a bad break up

the moment i knew i didnt need you
you never paid attention
you being the crushing weight on my shoulders
like a column from a building
and when i finally let go?
all hell broke loose
I am from a mundane town
that ranks number one in this dignified country for drug overdoses
and is not a stranger to mothers raising daughters solo
I am from a meager mind
that desperately screams
Skies darken,The cold arrives. Earlier stays; Later goodbyes.Your face stained in my brain... Every feature saved and secured.Your touch burned into my heart...
Brace yourself
Welcome help
Armor up
Enough’s enough
Hope for the best
Prepare for the worst
Those are the words
You used to calm me
Down by the river
Build a bridge
It has always struck me as odd,
the idea that “loving you” and “losing you”
are only one letter apart.
This small difference is proved
I stay awake at night
and stare outside the window-
into the void.
My mind turns to you
and as I stare into the
nothingness of this starless night,
I cannot help but think
now,
should I be angry at you
angry because you hardly hugged me
because you raised your voice
bcause you never posted pictures of me but you do it for her
because you made me cry
because you pretended to love me
it all started with a text of baby
not good morning as ritual courtesy one acknowledges to a human being
i text back saying baby, i'm cooking breakfast
my mind wasn't thinking anything at that moment
at that time
