That Day
You destroyed me THAT day. You turned my heart inside out and my pulse stopped. My pulse ignored the hands of time and paused awaiting your response. It never got it.
You broke me THAT day. You crushed my hopes, dreams, goals, passions, visions and intentions for the future on THAT day.
On THAT day tears exited from my eyes as if they were a waterfall connected to one of the Great Lakes;perhaps Lake Huron or Lake Ontario. With my bulging swollen eyes I glared towards the metallic green wall and I watched it slowly turn black and become empty. I recited my thanks and goodbyes to my dreams and aspirations THAT day. I never saw them again.
THAT day my mind raced 180 million miles per hour. I envisioned you, hated you, missed you, hated you, yearned for you, misunderstood you, forgot you, remembered you, blamed you and forgave you.
THAT day I needed you, but you deceived me. THAT day I respected you, but you played me like a fool. THAT day you promised me the moon, stars and planets but all I eventially received was a lonely and dissatisified broken heart.
THAT day the OLD you died in my heart. The NEW you is not welcome in my heart. YOUR death in my heart was a painful death but a honorable one.
On THAT day you lost the status you once owned in my life. I trust you no longer.
I thought I knew you on THAT day. I guess my mind played tricks on me again. This time counts for one and the other is when my mind lead me to believe that our love was true. Well, mine is.
THAT day you had me. I was yours completely and willingly.
TODAY you lost me. My love is still present forever, but there is no longer a WE or an US.
TOMORROW I hope I can forget you. But, only if I shut my eyes real tight.
