The next man

The next man

A Poem by Lilaa

Your lips I still taste,
your hands I still
memorize,the way 
your posture sits
when tugging me in close,
every tiny detail, has 
been jolted into my 
wits like tiny needles 
injecting the skin of 
the innocence

Everything about you still  
remains, the uncertainty of
our future still lingers in these
post cards I never end up sending,
your name still slips out of my 
lips like we never fell apart, 
the heaviness of this empty 
letter box leaves the air 
feeling so thin and loneliness 
my biggest company

I do not know how long It 
will take me to love another
or how long it will take
for me to look at a man and
not think revulsion, not think
pain, pain you inflected so 
easily, so professionally

These scars you left 
marking my purity, is 
nothing compared to the
single pain engravings 
you left on my tattered 
heart, the tiny spoken 
promises you gave to me 
on a silver platter

Do not apologize to me,
but apologize to the 
next man who tries 
to captivate my heart,
the next man who insists 
his spoken promises are
filled with the truth,
the truth I never witnessed
from you

Do not apologize to me
but apologize to the next
man who is doing it right

Aw... You have a nice poem, quite the twist at the end. The emotion of a person who just relished freedom and the bitterness of the parting. I guess you can show your poem to people who experienced this kind of affair. This is a great inspiration, a strength for those hearts that were broken. Great poem! :)

I read it few times to instill in. When someone loves you and you are still holding on to your past, it is a time of tough decision to make. Either one should move on to accept the next person or just remain in memories of past. Both are beautiful. While one has the beauty of hope, other has beauty of loneliness. Great peace. Keep it up.
