POEM STARTER

‘It used to be much easier to forgive than to forget.’

You’ve Ruined Their Lives

I hung on to every word that you’ve said to me From the moment you said them I knew you were mine You said you were mine I thought you were mine Do you know what Anouk said When you left our group for the first time She said “Be careful with this one guys She will do what it takes to survive” You and your words flooded our senses Your sentences left us defenseless You built us palaces out of opinions You built cathedrals I’m just thinking about the things that you said to me I’m searching and scanning for answers in every line For some kind of sign And when you were mine The world seemed To burn Burn You gossiped about their secrets You told the whole grade How they were dating In clearing your name You have ruined their lives Do you know what I said? When I heard what you’d done I said I’ve pitied an icarus She’s flown to close to the sun You and your words Obsessed with being popular Your sentences bordered unsent less And you were never paranoid In the first place How they perceive you You you you! We’re erasing ourselves From the narrative Let all your “friends” wonder How we reacted When you broke our hearts You’ve torn it all apart I’m watching us Burn The grade has no right to our hearts The grade has no place in our heads They shouldn’t no what we said We’re burning the memories Burning the apologies That might have redeemed you You forfeit all rights to our hearts You forfeit the place in our heads You can cry in the bathroom instead With only the memories Of when you were ours We hope that you Burn Yes I did just re write burn from Hamilton. I told you I loved Hamilton.
