Getting Over Him - Tumblr Posts

Poem: Burning

When I realized I loved you,

Your every motion stirred up

A commotion in my mind.

You sent my heart up in flames

That nearly choked me.

I couldn’t tell you

How you made me feel then,

How I was like a firework

Set off by you,

Barely able to contain myself,

About to burst apart in the sky.

How could anyone go on

Without that same level of chaos

After being aflame for so long?

How has anyone extinguished themselves

And been able to move on

From self-destructive love?

How did I get over you?

Your eyes were catalysts

To my combustion.

I simply had to remember

How wonderful life was

Before I was burning alive.
