A crisis resulted in our seeing each other again, about 10 months after the split. He was still with his new girlfriend, but he spoke negatively about her and proposed we start seeing each other again. I still loved him, still missed him. In this poem and the next, I imagined what would happen to me if I gave in, and what our relationship might be like.
I saw you and you said some things,
some things I heard too well...
You said you'd always love me
and then we said farewell.
I saw you and you said some things,
some things I heard too well...
You said she was controlling
and then we said farewell.
I saw you and you said some things,
some things I heard too well...
You said she didn't understand
and then we said farewell.
I heard your words and thought you were
imprisoned in a cell...
I held on to the echoes
and followed you to Hell.
