Detached
I try
try to get rid of you
try to forget you
try to hate you
try to no longer love you
try to care
try to find a silver lining but i cant no matter how much i try i cant
i blocked you in the past
lost sleep
didn't eat
didnt feel
i was numb
sad
low
you brought me a lot of happiness
a lot of strife
alot of pain
i lost sleep thinking about what was i doing wrong
i thought i loved you
did i?
Did I ever?
Did you ever?
Did i fall in love with the persona you put on for me or did i fall in love with the real you
i was so hurt from the past that when you came into my life i didn't realise you were toxic
i always blamed myself
you made it seem like it was me
that morning i woke up after me and you fell asleep together you were gone
i looked for you but you weren't there
went to text you but you weren't there
did i imagine it all
no you left
left me alone
wondering what did i do
what i said
i messaged you asking you not to let go
you said you didn't want to
but you did
you changed your mind
you came back
i said let's forget about what happened
then i tried to let go
cut you out of my life
but i came back
you said you were sad
that you missed me
but that was a lie
i was a pawn
i still am
i'm still here
cause no matter how much i try to detach you from my mind i keep coming back to you
keep on thinking about you
keep thinking it could get better
keep thinking you'll one day say you love me and mean it
keep thinking your the one for me
but i think your not
but i'm still here
still on the call
still wrapped around your finger tips
still trying
am i a sucker
yes
but can i stop probably not
i detached myself from reality
detached myself from the truth.

I would
follow Teddy's suggestion as the poem is long for one and seems disjointed the way you have it written Teddy made it compact an a lot neater a warm Neo Poet welcome to you
