08. One day it’ll stop

A poem written by Denny K. Schuldt.

It hurts so much, it’s a physical pain.
It’s like I’m always under the heavy rain.
I hope what they say is true,
that one day it’ll stop and I’ll start anew.

Do I swipe left because it’s not you,
or do I do so because of the view?
Is this how I’m gonna feel from now on?
Or is it just a phase, and I just need to move on?

I resist the temptation to text you,
and many times I’ve been just about to call you.
But that would be a crime to my peace,
and honestly I’ve suffered enough and just want to be at ease.
