Over You

Why is it so hard to let go of the past?

I’m telling myself that those feelings are gone

Yet I’m torturing myself looking into the past

I hear all of the bad things said about you

Yet I find myself looking at only the good

I see you and her in the hall and it breaks me             

Yet I tell myself that you deserve each other

We have those awkward moments where we look in each other’s eyes

Yet I look away and tell myself the butterflies in my stomach don’t exist               

My throat chokes up when I think about you and the times that we have had

Yet I tell myself that I’m not choking up over you

I call her a s**t to others and blame her for everything

Yet you’re the one walking her down the hall and hugging her goodbye

I think about you more than anything else

Yet I tell myself that you’re an a*s hole who I am completely over

I’m telling myself that those feelings are gone

Yet I’m sitting here writing poetry about you…
