Contemplation

The Space They Take Up

Isn't it strange

So otherworldly that one day someone can be your world

They can take up all of the space in your heart

But then just as quickly

They can take up on but a small corner of it

Until there is nothing left of them in there

It's so strange

I swore too the moon I loved him

I believed in deep in my being

Even after all of the things that occurred between us

It only took him saying he didn't want me

And

Giving me only cool snaps of acknowledgment did I give up

I felt that hole become black

Empty

The space he occupied Shrunk into almost nothing

Some days preceding this it felt he took up a little more than other days

But not the same

And within a blink

All I could feel was disappointment

At another failed "love"

And I began to wonder have I ever experienced love

If this is what it feels like in the end

I don't think this was ever truly love
