The phone had rang, phone calls that late were never good “He was in an accident” She didn’t the remember the drive She just remembered being at the hospital. Why was she there? He hadn’t loved her, They hadn’t even spoken in months. Not since he had left. She still sat there with her jet black hair hitting the curve of her back Her makeup was no longer alive, and her naturally squinty eyes filled with pain And her petite frame had become unsupported. Then she thought to herself, What if he was fine? What if her opens his and doesn’t see the mistake he had made by letting her go? He might just open his eyes in confusion “Why are you here?” he might ask her, and she would be just as confused. She turned the slippers and walked out of the circulating entrance. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">The ache blurred her vision, but she still made it home <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">She hit the pillow and rested her tears. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">Her heart had died that night, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt;">And so had he. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Poem Two ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The art of losing isn't hard to master; <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">So I’ll shift my focus now on how to end, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Remember me when I am gone away. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">A spirit beautiful and bright <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">So much in sight of heaven, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Now just one of the stars to burn. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">When whatever you want to do cannot be done <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Had we had enough world and time, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">maybe not everyone would’ve separated. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I have forgotten what arms I have lain and who had gave all their heart and lost. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I do love thee!

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Poem One **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I always talked to strangers <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">And I wasn't taken once <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Not once. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I didn't even wear my seatbelt <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">And I didn't crash once <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Not once. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">But she always, always said "be careful" <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">And I never listened

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">How could it be that I let myself go? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">How could I fall so hard? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">So deep. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I had talked to a stranger, like all the others <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I lost myself <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I wasn't safe when I drove this time <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I had crashed <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">My mother told me to be careful, be careful with a stranger. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">But I never listened.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">He had said goodbye so effortless, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I was crashed, I had lost the one meant for me. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Without him, I was ruined, I was nothing. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">But a heart can be dramatic, and a mind can be logical. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">He hadn't loved me, so why waste this time? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Because no one can complete me, except for me. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I can't rely on this, on this false love. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">So I'll rely on myself. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">His effortless behavior, made more effort for me. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">My crash made quite the recovery. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I had never been ruined, I had never been nothing. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">But it took him to teach me that. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I wasn't meant to **love** him, I was meant to fall **out of love** with him. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">He was greatest teacher, and it's only him I can thank for it all. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">So thank you for making me better for myself, than for you.
