The One
This is a poem I wrote called “The One”. It’s all about the aftermath of a breakup and the heartbreak thats left for you to heal from.
I won’t ever let you see me cry
You won’t ever know my pain
All of the heartbreak you caused me
My tears hidden by the rain
Was I not good enough
Was I just a conquest of yours
I know I should have listened to the stories
But you’re the only one who never made me feel quite so insecure
I remember the first “I love you”
Now I know that was a lie
Those words a constant reminder
That you didn’t really try
“Is it better to speak or to die?”
The young boy asks the princess
“To speak” she says in reply
And I’ve always wondered why
For to speak involves courage
Of which you left me none
Now all I have is memories
From when I thought you were the one.
I won’t ever let you see me cry
You won’t ever know my pain
All of the heartbreak you caused me
My tears hidden by the rain
Was I not good enough
Was I just a conquest of yours
I know I should have listened to the stories
But you’re the only one who never made me feel quite so insecure
I remember the first “I love you”
Now I know that was a lie
Those words a constant reminder
That you didn’t really try
“Is it better to speak or to die?”
The young boy asks the princess
“To speak” she says in reply
And I’ve always wondered why
For to speak involves courage
Of which you left me none
Now all I have is memories
From when I thought you were the one.
