Something To Remember You By

I've heard a rumor that heartbreak makes you write sh*tty poetry.

Something To Remember You By
Samantha Barreras

I still have the scar on my arm from when I burned myself after We decided to make cornbread from scratch.

When it happened I thought,

At least I’ll always have something to remember him by.

The t-shirt you gave me when you asked me to be your girlfriend Hasn’t been worn since the day you decided I should stop being your girlfriend.

When you gave it to me I thought

At least I’ll always have something to remember him by.

I’ve never seen the movie Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind,But I get the gist.

Having these things to remember you by doesn’t make a spotless Mind seem so terrible.

I was never much of a movie person.

You always picked the best ones.

I don’t really know what love is.

It’s not something you can measure empirically.

I’ve heard that love makes you write shitty poetry.

Not sure that can be measured empirically either,

But as far as shitty poetry goes, this sounds about right.

I miss you I guess.

By I guess I mean a lot.

I hope you’re doing well.

I mostly hope you miss me as much as I miss you.

That’s a long shot.

It’s getting easier.

It’s getting easier to pretend that it’s getting easier.

It hasn’t really stopped hurting

But at least I’ll always have something to remember you by.

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
