Poem- “He Isn’t Worth It”

This was originally written in 2013-2014, when I was broken up from someone I loved very much. We were together for ten months, and had plans for a future, but over time, I started noticing a change in him- he was becoming more distant, and was looking for any opportunity to end the relationship out of nowhere. I was so lost and confused, and had devoted my entire soul to this person.

It took my almost a year after our breakup to fully move on and become the strong woman I am today.

It was one of the earliest “fairy-tale”-like movie I had ever watched, so it is no doubt that I dreamt about it.

Poem- “Void”

When you love someone so much and it ends so suddenly, the only feeling you have inside, is no feeling at all. It is if you are numb and you cannot help but feel a void in your heart where it was once occupied by someone.

Poem- “Alone in the Dark”

If you are like me, you may feel like breakups equal the end of the world. You experience moments of sadness, but then eventually you are okay. Well, this was one of those moments of sadness, where I felt completely sad and alone, and kind of like you cannot live without that person.
