Wake Up Letter

I woke early this morning to find my bed empty

where were you when you were just beside me

last night when we shared a whole night together

but now I'm left here alone with a long hand letter.

 

There's only silence as I read the goodbye note,

I cry silently as I read it all, a knot in my throat.

I let the letter drop to the floor in a slow silence,

it hit so hard I couldn't even finish the last sentence.

 

So now I will have to get used to these mornings alone,

from now on I'll drown out the hurt with headphones.

I won't allow myself to even once think about you,

I'll allow myself to cry some tears, but only a few.

 

I sit here on the edge of my bed, my head in my hands,

I keep watching as the tear puddle on the floor expands.

Though I know I will have to be strong soon to get through,

right here in this moment now, I'm gonna miss waking up to you.

Author's Note

This has never happened to me, but this is a write I wrote about just breakups in general. I've woken up to breakup texts before, and this is how I've felt in the past. Hope you enjoy the write. The picture I chose symbolizes him leaving, but leaving a piece of him behind that I can't give back.
