Ex Lover

Lonely days, lonely nights.

Empty words create empty fights. 

While still here together, we're so far apart. 

Something has changed in each of our hearts. 

We each want to try and make it okay,

but unfortunately, 

it can't happen that way.

Sadly, when there is nothing left in between,

it all becomes a rerun of something dark and something mean. 

So we'll tell them all,

maybe it's for the best. 

I guess it's finally time 

to lay us to rest. 

We'll continue with our lives,

just not with each other.

It's best that way.

Goodbye my friend, and spouse.

You can thank your ex lover.

Sometimes it's best to be on the otherside of the same door.. Not having less not wanting more. Ex lover times were good times were bad, most important times were shared. Now it's time to swallow our keys and relearn how to be free. < 3 great write!

You capture the emotions of a relationship gone bad, well done!

Very well written poem, capturing the moment, the pain, and the sights on the future. Your first four lines are so incredibly powerful, even alone they stand to make for a very meaningful poem. I also like how your text is spaced such that the outline around the text makes almost the face of a man or person. You have a really good flow in your poem, I only wonder if the line "It's best that way," is needed because it does break the flow a little, maybe add another line after it like "Somehow we'll recover." Don't change your original poem, its just suggestion in terms of food for thought. I really like how deeply passionate you let yourself be and it is also so honest and real. If it is super personal to you, then I hope you find someone who doesn't leave you feeling so lonely and empty but fills you with happiness and sticks by you. Still, thanks for sharing, and keep writing!
