Passing the Past (Old Found Poem)

you were once there
right by my side
the way you said
you always would be

but you lied
in the blink
of an eye
without even a glance behind

you're long gone
only around in hauntings
leaving me
questioning

what's real
who's real
and if anyone really means it
when they say
they'll be there

Beyond The Blurriness

i know it
the truth
despite saying
i don't

staring
glaring
waiting for denial
acceptance never a chance

the truth haunts
tortures
pesters
wanting to break down

hope
from beyond
behind the blurriness
of the clouds

i know it
the truth
despite saying
i don't

i know
I'm beautiful.
