Getting Over You - 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: About Moving On
Romantic love, lately,
Has brought thoughts
Of stories and fiction
To my mind; I feel a
New kind of love for
Myself as I realize that
You aren’t the first
Person who comes
To mind anymore.

Poem: Back
I’ve wandered ways away from here
But one day tumbled back.
It’s strange to be with you so near
After letting go of our past.

Poem: You and I
You’ve changed, but so have I –
I have new fire in my eyes.
You said goodbye, but so did I –
I’ve moved past those tiring times.

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: Breeze
Daydreams of you drift
Into my mind like the breeze
That rustles the curtains
As it welcomes itself in.
I have finally found peace
Enough to close the windows
And let my thoughts of you
Be whisked away by the wind.

Poem: Photo Album
Flipping through a photo album,
I watch myself flying through ages
As I flick through its glossy pages.
Sometimes your face passes me by,
Only to stay behind as a buried memory
On that wobbly paper, beside an old me.
This new me turns away from the glint
As lamp light catches your photographed eye.
My hand closes the book, as if to say goodbye.

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.

Today my little brother asked me if I was in love. I wanted to say your name, but you got a girl and we're over, so I just said no. - excerpt from a book i'll never write #2 // If you ask me how I'm doing, I would say I'm doing just fine. I would lie and say that you're not on my mind.
We were once strangers than you become part of my world, took over my heart, took over my mind, took over my soul and body.
Now we are back to being strangers.
What an asshole you are. You've been talking to her for so long while we were still communicating. You're a coward and a liar. Only immature and insecure people ghosted people.
I'm pissed thinking about the time line of how this all played out. How you had all these opportunities to tell me but you didn't. You're a coward for showing me, you're immature and petty.
You wanna flaunt your new relationship for me to see? FU and your new relationship!
Karma will come for you. What goes around comes around.
I'm feeling really rejected at the moment. I'm feeling really really sad and rejected. Three and a half years and he didn't see me as wife material, what if he sees his new 20 year old gf as wife material? What if he sees her as worthy of being his wife and I wasn't good enough to be his wife? Suddenly he wants marriage and a family? While I'm here approaching 38 with nothing. Nothing!!
What about me? What about me?
Fuck. I'm so fucked up at the moment. I feel rejected, weak and stupid.
God I'm stronger than this. My life was fine before him and I know my life will be fine after him but at the moment I'm not feeling all that strong or grand. I feel like shit. I feel hopelessness. I will defeated. I feel tired, mind and soul. I feel lonely. I feel like I'll never find love again. I just feel so fuck and shitty.
I just want to wake up tomorrow with no memory of this. I don't want to feel like this again. I don't want to remembered anything. I want to go back 5 years ago. I just want my life and my mind back. I just want to feel like myself again.
I know I shouldn't be feeling sorry for myself because no one is feeling sorry for me. He's isn't thinking about me. He's moved one and living his life while I'm stuck here with my fucked up feelings and mind fuckery.
Three and a half years of love, cared and devotion all so I can be treated like trash at the end. Ain't that a bitch!!
I prayed that everytime he is with her he sees the Lord. That the Lord reminds him of his trespasses. I leave my pain and hurt in the Lord's hands because the Lord will not forsaken me. He will relieve me of my pain and hurt. He will deal with sinners and trespassers in His own ways and time.
In the name of the Lord I pray. Amen.
Let go. Just let go. Why can't I just let go?
you know it. you can tell yourself you didn’t need them but you know you know you need your father you know you needed your mother. you know it when your older friend pulls you into a hug and you know it when you tear up watching a father play with his daughter in the park you can tell yourself you don’t miss them and you’ll know it when your friends mum makes you breakfast when you stay over. and you can tell yourself you are nothing like them but you know you’ll know when you lay your hands on your daughter just like your father. you’ll know when you hit her over the smallest things just like your father. you know when you tell her everything is her fault just like your mother. and you’ll know when you tell her she’s worthless just like your mother. and you’ll pass on that chronic guilt and anger to her just like your mother just like your father
