Everything we were is gone forever, I lie
Curled up blank as paper on my bed
Longing to never see you again.
I remember when I believed you were
Perfection, hung on your every word,
Smiling to myself at your jokes hours later; all
Eclipsed by what you did, forever.

The Scourge of God
You punctured too many holes into my heart. I had to carry in my arms like a sieve. I had to go numb worse than novocaine to preserve myself. I was forced to realize that we had simply run out of time. A prison made to keep us together out of nostalgia. I had my illusions but you completely shattered them. You had to prove you could do better than me. But loyalty cannot be bought, it can only be given. What drove us together was a spark that quickly dwindled. We called it love but settling resembles hope too much. You were too far away even when you were right beside me. I didn't want you closer, I wanted you to be something you could never be. You weren't searching for the truth like I was, you just wanted to cover up your mishaps. You couldn't fill the holes you created so you found a clean slate instead. The chasm in between just caused more space to ignore. You're no longer any of my concern. You told your lies in order to survive. I had to levitate myself in order to burn. Two worlds divided in order for us to finally die. I don't know when but this lesson has got to be learned. You were the salt in the wound I didn't think I deserved. You tried to take credit for all the accomplishments I knew I would earn. This pain isn't mine anymore, now it's your turn

This is so relateable. Great job!
Fabulous - I especially liked the 2nd line - such a description.
Beautiful acrostic poem really enjoyed it a lot
That last line! Great acrostic and challenge entry! Can really feel the heartbreak in this
Well. I am now eclipsed, after just reading your poem of longing for love...I now am here with the totally opposite of such. Ugh.Love. Whatchagonnado. Eclipsed love is the worst.
