I tried to block you out <br />out of sight <br />out of mind <br />out of everything we were, <br />that I am. <br />I wanted to pretend <br />that you weren't gone <br />that I never died <br />that blood still flowed <br />Instead of the ash <br />you've become. <br />I tried to hold on to you <br />but like fire it burned. <br />I wanted to remember <br />but I choked on the tears. <br />So instead I took an eraser to my life <br />and tried to wipe away the pain. <br /> <br />I just realized <br />I'm not ever going to be ok.<br /><br />Aimee Rozen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-not-ok-3/
