Things Left Unsaid

I can't help but wonder
What made him decide
Against me.
Did he just want to get rid of me?
All along, did he even care?
Did he really care about the pain I felt,
Or were those words out of someone else's mouth,
Words that can never be taken back?
Does his heart falter at the sound of my name,
Like mine does to his?
Did it ever do that?
Does he ever think of me
Before he falls asleep?
Do I appear in his dreams,
An imaginary figure
That is only relevant in his memory?
Am I really worth anything to him?
Was anything he said true?
These things I will never know,
Until the day I die.

Were you in love? Or it is totally fictionalized. This sounds as if it comes from real-life experiences. It is very lively and touching. Of course literature must mirror our own experiences and somewhere deep down within me I sense it springs from your personal experiences. Maybe not. But the poem is absorbing.
