Hurt a Little Less

Poem

Days, months, years,

I’ve watched the time fly by,

I’ve made peace with this broken shell you left behind,

Day after day, I fight.

It’s been long enough to realize pain fades but will never be extinct.

Each day it hurts a little less,

I sit here and reminisce,

Your lips ensuring a delicate kiss,

Your smile that was capable of changing my whole day,

Your laughter echoes through my heart,

I will never forget,

But each day it hurts a little less.

I’ve healed from all your lies and neglect,

Wondering what I could have done to keep you, less and less.

But there’s one thing I will never forget,

The pain I feel when I know,

You don’t think of me.

Beautifully painful and direct stab in a heart. The way it effortlessly transcends and balances the pain and healing factor is too good. Great job

I love the flow of this poem, A+! A look into the timeline of a breakup and how the pain slowly dies but doesn’t ever leave.
