M. Aline

Seeing your face consistently

Staring into your eyes

Reminds me of what could’ve been

Will I ever get over this feeling

I get so sick of my stomach twisting

Every time you ask me questions

I ask myself more

Why am I still in love with you

Why does my heart still hurt

When you mention her

I attempt to hide the knife piercing my chest

But you know me all too well

You see right through

Do you want me to confess

What you pretend you don’t know

That I’m still in love with you

And I’m not sure how this ends

You with her

Or you holding me instead

Should I stay away from you

Become distant

Or should I dwell here

And trust that God will mend my heart

If it needs mending instead of loving

Sincerely,

From a broken heart
