My heart is left aching
From the thing that you did.
My soul is still reeling
From the things that you said.
You’re the fly in my ointment
When you should be the glue.
Its just salt in the wound
When I see you with him,
But the pain it will drive me
And soon I’ll be whole.
Then you’ll see me all vibrant
And glowing its true.
So like a breeze that is freshening
I’ll sweep you aside.
You’ll be nought but a mem’ry,
A pothole in my path.
That I filled with my spirit
My strength and my heart.
Like that light in the tunnel
I see my spring clearly.
I’ll wish you good health
But nothing too cheery.

Loved this poem, Andy. Heartache and heartbreak, something I know all too well 😀 Especially loved the cheeky ending. Moving on can be hard, but when we keep looking forwards and paying attention to what’s around us, we realise that we are stronger than we think. Looking forward to wishing you a happy spring soon, Andy 🙂

Breakups suck. Especially that’s coz someone betrays you horribly. Great amount of intense pain reflected in your heartfelt words.
