Love Poem: The Pain of Knowing

The Pain of Knowing

I tell myself everyday that you mean nothing
I tell myself that I can live without you

But I can’t 
And everyday it gets harder to lie to myself

I thought I’d be okay by myself
That I’d get over you

It feels like I am slowly draining myself of the love you gave me
Pain and hurt filling the places love once was

But I know that you will never be mine again
So I try to live with the pain

The pain of knowing what it is like to have you not having you
