I wish I didn’t

I wish I didn't think about him.

I wish he'd go out of my brain. 
Twice today his cues come at me.
Twice today those cues come at me,
Hurling memories 
From fifty feet
Away.
I wish he'd go away with my need.
I wish he'd taken it with him.
Each day the memories trip me.
Each day the stumble becomes a scar
Of remembered words 
And deeds 
undone. 
I wish there were less hours in the day.
I wish there was less time to grieve.
Keeping my memories caustic.
Keeping the memories etching 
Thoughts into
A broken 
Heart.
 
 
 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 
If you stop the thoughts, 
you'll stop breaking your own heart.

Yes it is

time is always the cure. Just exposes one to new hurts.  I tend to forget the slights but keep the feeling. Forgetting is go but the pain stays.
