![]() The PastA Poem by Con Campbell![]() A poem about past partners. But also a poem about the future. This might be the first poem I've ever written that isn't outright misery!![]() The Past A small note about this poem: I’m not
a bitter person. I move on from situations quickly and tend to forget things
faster than I probably should. I truly love my life. My partner is my best friend in the world and she, and the home we’ve built mean everything to
me. Poetry is a language. -----------------------------------------------------
I once thought you were it, But I’ve always known what you are. You’re the one that crushed my
spirit. The one that tried to leave scars.
You, you had a good life, almost, Most people wouldn't ask for more. But then again, you're not most are you? You, the vicious w***e.
I used to be clean, I had dreams and goals. Then I met you; too keen. Now I'm full of holes.
How dare someone pretend that the things they do are okay? Can you even grasp how to mend A broken model of clay?
But its fine, I'm good, I'm not perfect, but who is? I love someone who never would, A good person who always admits.
I've got a new life now, I'm happy, I spend my days doing what I love. You're not. Your life is scrappy, Full of voids; what do they say about
gloves?
You sold me as the guilty one, You spread your lies as fact. Well, irony is you’re done, By so few you are backed.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm not bitter, in fact I don't care. All that I want is for you all to
know, I'm not perfect, but I was always
fair.
Things worked out for the best, I'm where I want to be, funny that. Some days I truly feel blessed, Maybe even spoiled; a bit of a brat.
I'm a new me, a better me than I was yesterday. I sleep in warmth, I truly feel free. Nothing about my life feels cheap.
I don't know where you are now, I don't want to know what you're
doing. I like that fact, I'm free. Anyhow, I didn't want to leave this stewing.
Some get what they deserve, some
don't, My future is bright. I'll reap what
I've sown. You'll fade like scars from distant
memory, Enjoy being the worn-out accessory. © 2018 Con CampbellReviews

It conveys our darkest depths and our brightest heights. I expose myself .. more..Writing
