But Instead

When I wake up in the morning, to your face in my dreams

I deny knowing what’s bothering me

When I see your smile on someone else’s face

The memories come back, testing my strength

When I’m sitting at my desk, your voice whispers in my ear

I tell myself

 “It’s impossible, he can’t really be here”

I can’t do anything now without it hurting inside

Without hearing you retell me all the f*****g lies

It replays in my mind;

All those times…

I should have walked away

But instead, I chose to stay

It seems to me that your character is being cheated on, or has been left. I think you should have elaborated more, but a good poem overall.
