Open Letter to You
1
I mean when
I say
I’m glad you’re happy.
I really do,
Seeing you and him
Moving in together
It brings me Joy
And I’m happy that
You didn’t need me.
2
I don’t know
If you’re happy
You seem like
You could be
But it’s so
Damn
hard
To tell.
3
I want you to be happy.
And I want myself to be sad,
I want things to hurt,
I want you to move on.
But it seems like I’m
The one that moved on
And you’re the one who’s hurt
And it makes it harder.
But I need to grow
And the best way
To do that
Is to move on.
4
I’m looking forward
To you.
I’m excited
For something new.
But if you think
I am
Who I seem
To be
You’ll only be hurt
In the end.
5
And now to you,
I am hurting.
Conflicted.
Disappointed.
Glad.
Sad.
And I put periods
In this poem,
Because I know
You hate poems with them.
On one hand,
I’m glad you’re happy.
It’s what I’ve wanted to see
My entire life
But I wish it was me
That made you smile.
I wish it was me
That kissed you on the cheek
Wearing the most gorgeous
Blue dress.
It complimented your hair.
