Breaking Up Poem

Losing Someone Important

When I was first dumped by my boyfriend, I took it hard. I was assigned a poetry project for one of my classes and managed to vent the result of said breakup in that form. This was the result of my assignment.

Drowning

Published by Family Friend Poems July 2018 with permission of the Author.

I'm drowning.
I look around at everyone going past and suddenly I can't breathe.
It looks so easy for them,
Going about and laughing,
Having the time of their lives.
Why is it so easy for them?

I'm drowning.
But then,
Then I think of you.
I think about our times spent.
I remember walking together,
I remember nights together,
I remember movies together,
I remember how it all started.

I'm drowning.
But then I think of you.
I begin to wonder,
Am I really drowning?
Not when I have you.
Then I realize,
I'm losing you,
And these pleasant memories?
They turn to bitter reminders of once was.
So maybe,
Maybe I am drowning.

Because without you,
I can't breathe.
