Not Today By Heartbreak Poet | Rachelle Hartog

Not Today By Heartbreak Poet | Rachelle Hartog
September 10, 2016
Poetry

… wrote this for the love I had but couldn’t keep…
For the one that got away…
NOT TODAY

Girl raising hands

There cometh a day
when I will be as strong as I was before you
but not today
there cometh a day
when I can look at your pictures and smile
but not today
there cometh a day
when I can look at you
and not burst into tears
but not today
there cometh a day
when my memories will not be shadowed
by the day you left me
but of the good moments we had
but not today…

There cometh a day when my heart wouldn’t ache each time I know you left me for another
But not today…
But until then I’ll guard my heart so deeply…
For that alone is my best defense…
