Getting Over Someone - Tumblr Posts
Poem: Burning
When I realized I loved you,
Your every motion stirred up
A commotion in my mind.
You sent my heart up in flames
That nearly choked me.
I couldn’t tell you
How you made me feel then,
How I was like a firework
Set off by you,
Barely able to contain myself,
About to burst apart in the sky.
How could anyone go on
Without that same level of chaos
After being aflame for so long?
How has anyone extinguished themselves
And been able to move on
From self-destructive love?
How did I get over you?
Your eyes were catalysts
To my combustion.
I simply had to remember
How wonderful life was
Before I was burning alive.

Poem: Tactless
Little is my love for you lately,
Knowing where you’ve been
And all that you’ve seen
Without a fraction of thought
For what it all might mean
When you recount it to me.

Poem: Petals
I did my best to wander
Without you on my mind
But found pieces of you
In the petals of flowers
Along the sides of roads,
Which reminded me of
The delicate moments
That we spent together,
Blooming in the sun
Before our petals fell
One by one, and our
Hearts crumbled apart.

Poem: Solo
She danced around the room,
looking people in the eyes
as she twirled past them,
never meeting the same gaze
twice. In the flashing lights,
spinning late into the night,
she was untouchable,
her tears dripping like sweat,
catching light like diamonds,
slipping, unseen, to the ground
as she kept gliding forward,
spinning late into the night.

Poem: Pink Lemonade
You poured out your pink lemonade
and placed the glass inside the sink,
where the faucet rained down on it
and washed the memory away
of puckered lips and the sour kiss
between you and that cold bottle.
