#WritcoPoemPrompt48

I have many to chose from.
Each one weighed a ton.
Even though not one
involved a gun.
Each one bun
like the hot sun.
Listen son
The first half of my life, I always won.
Then came the day I lost.
I lost big time. That's when my life took a toss.
I was unable to ground my feet.
While holdimg a tray, stumbling to defeat.
No longer had that special one laying with me under the sheets.
I always thought our bond was harder than concrete.
But i saw the day when that love take a retreat.
I'm my mind, forever seemed short and hard to conceive.
Aches where I've never felt before became overwhelming and I couldn't hit delete.
Embedded in stone this pain that I couldn't relive.
Not I'm my life? The thought was hard to belive.
I remember those nights when I could barley breathe.
Passing out from rum, only to wake up searching for my peace.
That's what she was. I've been restless since. It's as if I was only meant to have her on lease.
Just like that, she was, " ..somebody I used to know.."
No longer my everyday flow.
Now I have her no mo.
She's happy and honestly, that interns makes me happy as well.
You were that pitch way up high in.the heavens, but I fell.
I survived the fall but left broken and shattered and probably headed to hell.
The love I got from you was more than anyone could have asked for from any wishing well.
