POEM STARTER

While chasing your ghost, I became one myself.

First Love

While chasing your ghost,

I became one myself

An empty skin of the person I was before

I loved you when we met

I loved you when you loved me

And I still loved you after you left


The tears that stained my cheeks at night

One.. two.. three..

counting the tears was like counting my mistakes

I supported you when no one else did

That beautiful bracelet we both wore


A representation that our love would last,

Now that bracelet is a necklace

Something you share with someone else

It’s my fault for not being over you


I can’t get mad at you for moving on

It’s not your fault you’re not broken

It’s not your fault you don’t still cry at night

Hoping to god that every notification is from me

And it’s not your fault you can love again


I hope she sees you as I did

I hope she drops everything to help you peruse acting

I hope that when she looks at you she sees her future

But most of all, I hope she never lets you go
