I remember our laughs,
our memories and fun.
I remember the way your skin glistened
In the shine of the sun
I can still see your smile
when I am alone
and get feelings of your presence
that goes deep through my bone
And when I close my eyes
I can still feel your kiss
soft and passionate
A total bliss
But now it's all that's left
Now that you've left me
My life is nothing more than a memory
For you have a new wife
and I'm left to dust
as you cherish your new life
and my heart begins to crust
I still want you here
To be with me at night
Because I can't sleep
without you holding me tight
I know you love her now
Instead of me
But I just can't let you go
my life can't be
So the razor goes in
and the blood drops to the floor
my body lies still
and the memories are no more
Author notes
After me and Cody broke up, I went through a really bad period of my life where all I would do was cry. It seemed everything I did, and everywhere I go, he was always with me(in spirit) He started going out with this girl, Heidi who does not exactly have the best reputation. So, I felt torn apart. I tried calling him, and he repeatedly told me that I meant and do not mean anything to him. He said that I was a mistake and that he hated me. He told me to stop calling and leave him and his new girlfriend alone. My heart ached for him, and I felt like I'd do anything to get him in my arms again. I've attempted suicide and seeked counseling, and now I'm much better, but I seriously cried all the time, and was in severe depression. My story has a happy ending, but I felt it was not appropriate for this contest. Perhaps I will write another to tell the whole story. Hope you enjoyed my write.

hahaha. I'm not an adult either (Bitten-By-Love) I'm only 15. I only said wife because it seemed to flow better than girlfriend. And then wife seems more pernament and shocking than a new girlfriend, to me, it was more intense the way I have it now.

Awesome Job.
This was a very sad piece....but I'm glad you let us know in the author comments that you had a happy ending to your story. I did as well. I know what it's like to go through a severe stage of depression...I am a previous "cutter/burner" if you will. I don't do it anymore...but this poem, in a way just reminded me of my past. It hit really close to home and I enjoyed reading it, even though it brought tears to my eyes. You have a gift. This poem flowed so well...and I'm sure many people out there can relate to what you have to say. Keep writing and I wish you the best of luck with your future poetry. <3 -
