Poetry Journal #1(June 20th)

I'm staring at the screen, brown eyes blank
Typing away the feelings that I just can't say
I guess I miss him and I don't know why
There isn't a single day that I don't cry

As I type this now, I can feel the pain
My heart is crushed, just not the same
He gave me up and moved on so fast
So I don't get why I'm lost in the past

I don't want him back, that's not the case
I just wish I could forget his voice and his face
Love just isn't fair, it tears you apart
Making sure to shatter what was once your heart

I don't know why I even bother writing this down
Maybe it's because there's no one to talk to, nobody's around
I just can't bottle it up and act like I'm just fine
All I see is gray in the bright sunshine

But, now I'm dating Dylan and he's just great
Maybe that's why me and Ethan broke up, maybe it was fate
Maybe I'm meant to be with him and leave Ethan behind
Maybe I should open my eyes because love isn't blind

I just wish Dylan would call me sometime tonight
Because when I talk to him everything's alright
His voice calms me down and he makes me laugh
And then for a moment I'm not in the past
