Created: March 15, 2023 Poem request by Makayla

She walks along the busy street,
Her heart is heavy, her mind replete.
With thoughts of a love that’s lost and gone,
And a new guy who’s come along.

She meets him and her heart beats fast,
But memories of her ex, they last.
She wonders if this is a test,
To see if she’s moved on from the rest.

Her ex, is a piece of shit, she knows,
But memories still linger and grow.
She thinks of him, and she feels weak,
Her heart feels heavy, and her soul feels bleak.

She tries to move on, to let go,
But it’s hard when memories still show.
She wonders if she’ll ever be free,
From the chains that bind her to memory.

She knows that she deserves much more,
Than what her ex had in store.
But still, the new guy reminds her,
Of the one who left her in a blur.

She believes that she’s being tested,
To see if she’s truly vested,
In moving on, in starting anew,
And leaving her ex in the rearview.
