Welcome to My Poetry Site
Pieces of My Life
Mind backtracking
to my first live-in boyfriend.
We were happy, right?
I loved him,
I thought.
He was kind to me.
But didn't take me seriously.
Three years of my time.
Waiting & waiting
for his proposal.
It never happened,
so one night
I asked him:
When are we going to get married?
When are we going to have kids?
Two weeks later,
he hopped on a plane
& went back to Texas.
He was all I had.
All was empty
& meaningless.
I
just wanted
to die.
What to do.
I went to stay
with my parents
for those two weeks.
But I remember nothing.
Just moving back
to a desolate,
empty apartment.
Cleaning up
the mess he'd left.
Picking up
the lonely pieces of my life.
Wondering how
to go on.
