I’ve cried over you

I’ve died over you

That time we got caught

I lied over you

I’ve lost sleep over you

In too deep over you

I’ve fallen from taking a leap over you

I’ve screamed over you

Lost esteem over you

Lost the struggle to walk upstream
over you

I’ve thought over you

I’ve forgot over you

Had my heart broken over and over

All over you

And even after all that

I still hold my head high

Because crocheting the silk from your web of lies

I swallowed the knot in my throat over you

Crossed my crocheted bridge

And got over you

The author's comments:
I know this is not the best poem but it is just a short poem I wrote about finding yourself again after a breakup. I really felt like writing something today, as I do everyday, and this thought popped into my head, so I knew I had to write it out and share it.

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
