Poetry by, Madison Zeller

why does it hurt so bad
knowing he did me wrong?
why do i care when its been
6 months since his been gone?

how long am i going to love him?
will it ever go away?
if i pray hard can he come back
& love me the same way?

does he still love me?
can i get him to?
i want him to show up at my house
and confess that he was true.

but until then I’ll wait
for my life to die
and imagine that our love
is still alive.
