I thank God; I just dumped you!
"sometimes I wonder"
We were lovers.
You and me.
But not anymore.
Stop dreaming.
Don't try to fix it.
Stop hopping.
Stop being nice.
We were an item.
Not anymore.
We are no longer together.
We were lovers.
Not again.
This is not a joke.
It's real.
We have broken up.
I wasn't sure what would happen.
I got over you a long time ago.
I'm glad we're separated.
You assumed I would stick around.
Watch as I walk away.
I'm leaving you and your ego behind.
I'm ready to run as fast as I can.
I do not want to look back at all.
Sometimes, I wonder.
Why didn't I dump you then?
I thank God; I just dumped you!

Upon waves' break
Staring blankly through savage waves, breaking upon worn jettied rocks. On tired tongue a salty taste, taunting spray portraits your face, In cursed thoughts, your voice mocks: "Be a man, real men don't break." Yet here stands "less than a man" poised atop crested wave. Turbulent undertows of mounted lies. Saltwater stings tear prickled eyes. Wash away by ferocious tide. Dragged out, adrift vast open ocean, Weathered driftwood, debris, discarded notions. Softly spoken lies echo through tortured mind's hell. Floating aimlessly at rhythmic water's swell. Day fades away with night, light brings day again. Cast upon discarded's land, silk fine grain white sand, Strewn together gifts of sea, randomly along the beach. Feelings return slowly, cracked open eyes. Sudden streak across the sky, fiery tail cuts black of night. Dissociation breaks to hope in light. Countless stars shine through space and time. Filling empty space..... in time.

Analyse this!
Wanna know how to improve your writing? There is a simple, quick, tried and tested method. Tried and tested by who? By me, as it happens, and I can guarantee that it will work for you. I know what I am talking about. Not always, of course, but certainly in this case.

Sometimes walking away is the best thing we can do for ourselves! Loved your poem!
Nicely written mate
Beautiful work Gloria.
Sad but beautiful! I love it!
I could be wrong, but did you mean "hoping" instead of "hopping?" Overall, this is a fantastic poem! Great job!!
