Sometimes I wish
I can burn memories
like I can mementos.
I want to erase you
from my past because
this present situation
hurts so much.
And a future without you
seems so unbearable.
I can’t imagine a life
without your smile,
without the warmth
of your embrace.
What did I do to
make you push me away?
Something disappeared
when you called
another girl beautiful.
Why does this distance
break my heart more
the first time?
I can’t stand to walk away,
but you’ve given me
no other choice.
I Walked Away
When I heard you talking
to her thinking I was
asleep beside you.
When she showed up
with questions about you
and I could not answer
because my heart
was turned to
ice.
When you pretended
not to know her
in the grocery store
and she blew your mind
with a smile and a wink at
me.
That's when I knew
it was time to put your
unfaithfulness in a
suitcase and set it beside
you on the curb.
