This Is What Happens When Love Goes Away Poem by Maura Hunt

This Is What Happens When Love Goes Away



You know that pretty little necklace you gave me?
I still have it; I always will still have it.
It almost became a part of me,
Before I realized what was happening.
Before I realized that you were trying to push me away.
Before I realized your intentions
Before I realized the truth
Everything I did I did knowing that you loved me.
But that happiness I felt?
Yea, it was false sweetie
I held on because I didn’t realize the truth.
But seeing you with her,
Made me realize what had happened.

You didn’t respect my wishes.
And thinking back,
You never showed me respect
All you did was lie about the way you felt
And lie about what made you, you.
I had fallen in love with your uniqueness
Never thought you were like everyone else inside
You portrayed someone who was one of my best friends
But deep inside there was the truth,
Yes, the truth about how you act around everyone else
That I never met
And I think that was so that I wouldn’t see your true colors
So I wouldn’t see who you really were.

But the pain is over now; I can and will breath without you.
Remember you thought I wanted you back? You’re wrong
Like I’ve said I don’t want you back, I never want you back.
Like I’ve told myself so many times, you’re not worth my tears
And I no longer cry for you.
And I no longer care for you.
And I no longer live for you,
And I’d no longer die for you.
