Erased

This ache grows deep inside my heart

As it slowly starts to break

My hopes and dreams, now torn apart

As the truth begins to wake

My memories forged, they were not real

My heart erases the past

My hopes and dreams, I let you steal

They were destined not to last

Tomorrow seems so far away

Today will never end

It hurts too much to hear those words

Each time you call me friend

I know we were not meant to be

I can see it in your eyes

But everytime I see your face

A little piece of me dies

When you walk by, I see him there

And I know I've been replaced

For he's the proof I've been looking for

To know I've been erased

Peotry exists to elicit a response, and you have definitley crafted this piece to make the reader understand what you're going through with the person you love. The rhymes, well, I love rhymes, and you do them justice with elegance. Each line has its place, each word is needed to paint us this saddening picture. I can't get enough of this type of format, either.
Plus, the whole idea of being erased is pretty dark . . .

A heartbreaking story, but a beautiful poem! The sadness pours onto me. I feel like giving the speaker a hug.
