I never wanted to be the girl who wrote poems about love

and heartbreak

but here we are

 

broken again

here we are

 

soul-searching for answers

that can only be found outside of us

in all the little and big ways

we never learned

to fit

 

and now we’re both gone

 

after having said goodbye

 

I didn’t think it would be me

 

I didn’t think forever would last

only a short while

 

I can’t remember which of us broke

our promises first

 

I can’t remember which of us broke

the other’s heart first

 

I only know

we’re both hurting

 

and here we are

now as strangers.
