Move On?

Scars on my body could never have sufficed,

The torture you exerted on my mind.

I can still feel your hand caressing my hair 

While you said I should entirely change myself.

I can still feel my heartbeat rise 

Every time I think about our routine fights. 

Each day my heart still breaks 

When I think about your words filled of hate;

And every day I wish you would have still been

The one I had once met, the one I shared my heart with.

Wounds that you left on my soul, have stolen away my faith,

They've left me broken and bleeding in pain.

I wished to remember you with glee

But now your thoughts only remind me of me;

How you broke me down from inside,

How you never stood by my side.

I needed you , I admit 

And this admission breaks my heart to bits.

You said you loved me with our hands entwined

But such love I hope no one ever finds; 

And when I tell my story out loud 

They always ask me to move on.

But move on , how can I?

When my dreams still reek of that time.
