This poem was written as a bit of a slam poem about a relationship that abruptly ended. I have not previously written slam poetry, so it might flow weird. I hope you enjoy– KW
can you pinpoint the moment
that your heart last broke
and you almost started laughing
because it’s got to be a joke
i mean you go from being friends
to being lovers so fast
that your head is still spinning
when he firmly asks
if you’re sure you want to do this
because its sex and not love
and he doesn’t want to hurt you
(but maybe he does)
because you keep on getting closer
then he pushes you away
because unlike the last girl
you actually want to stay
and he says he’s bad at dating
he can’t quite commit
and then he asks to meet your parents
but it’s all bullshit
because he decides that he can’t do this
that it just went too far
but all you can think of
is riding in his car
half-drunk, screaming songs
like its 2009
and you’re still fucking kids
not grown and dead inside
he was supposed to be different
but then you fought
and haven’t spoke
and that’s the awful moment
that your heart last broke.
