A Break Up Poem by Monica CruzHerbert

Pain is growing like a vine pulling and wrapping around my heart
When I think the worst is over
That's when the pain really starts

Someone says your name
Somedays I don't feel a thing
But then there are days like today
Ugh, when it feels I am suffocating


Sometimes it feels like our relationship has been dead and gone
And it starts to rain outside, the hurt I feel is too much bare
The pain has me by the neck and I can't breath, I'm suffocating. 

I find myself wishing I was outside your house
Sitting in my car in your drive way 
My hands frozen on the wheel
And I can feel your love overwhelm me and I start suffocating. 

The memories of what use to be, cuts me to the core
The loneliness starts rolling in like a bad thunderstorm
My strength starts swaying away, I can't move,
it's such a paralyzing state and I start to suffocate...
