Love Poem to My Ex

  • I do not want you back
  • We were no good together
  • Me a hermit and you a party boy
  • But every so often, a song comes on the radio
  • And I remember your sweet smile when you played it for me
  • I remember our first date.  I smile fondly
  • Ours was not a true romance
  • We both were lonely and afraid
  • We came together out of loneliness
  • But every so often, a memory bubbles up
  • And I remember the daddy smile
  • I remember watching you diaper our child
  • Ours was not a life of joy
  • We were both feeling trapped
  • Too afraid to leave
  • But every so often, I find a memento
  • And I remember a day at the fair
  • I remember buying our first piece of art
  • Ours was a relationship of hate as much as love
  • You struck me, you berated me
  • I stayed out of shame
  • But every so often, I find a photo
  • Showing my pain, my anger
  • I remember who I was and the strength I’ve gained
  • Time passes, memory fades
  • The pain slips into the background
  • The strength remains
