Love Poem: Everywhere

Everywhere

I tried to dress up
I tried to go out
But everywhere I turned
He appeared
Every little truck was blue 
Every voice was his 
Every song I heard 
Everyone that walked in the door 
Couldn't focus 
Couldn't think straight
Couldn't shoot a simple game of pool
Every time my phone rang 
My heart stopped 
And every time it wasn't him
My heart broke 
And when the bartender asked where he was
I just wanted to hit my knees 
Couldn't even go out for a night 
So I brought myself back to this empty house 
I laid down in this empty bed 
And I lost it
Every car that went down the road 
Sounded like it pulled in the driveway
Every car door that shut 
I had to remind myself 
It wasn't him
I had to make myself get up
And try to clean my face
But when I looked in the mirror
All I saw 
Was the reason he's gone
And I lost it all over again 
How do u make the pain go away
How do u stop replaying the good times 
How do u fill the emptiness u feel inside 
I try not to txt 
I try not to call 
But after all this time 
It's just not that easy to do
I'm sorry
