It
All happened
So fast. One
Minute you were here,
Watching cartoons with me and
The next, you and your stuff
Was all gone. I didn’t know what
To do with myself. How do you move
On when your world seems to have completely vanished?
Almost like some sort of sick magic trick. You’re gone.

I relate so hard to this. Breaking up is like breaking an addiction- you’re so used to having someone there all the time, someone t tell everything to and to do nothing with, how do you act when they’re not there? Good luck, I know it’s hard. Eventually things will be okay again, though.
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it a lot 🙂
The perspective that I wrote it from wasn’t necessarily from a girlfriend losing her boyfriend, for me, it was more like a daughter losing her father in some way or another.
But people interpret things in different ways and see things from different perspectives and I’m glad you could relate to it. 🙂
Yeah, I got the sense it was more of a general loss. I’m lucky though in that I haven’t lost anyone close to me yet, only gone through break ups.
Aww… This is delightfully heartbreaking! Such a beautiful, innocent relationship being shattered by the cast lots of Life or through the arrival of Death! And the building up of the lines… The groaning, despairing tone and rhythm is fascinating and I truly love this, Elizabeth!
