I have to be honest
—if only in paper and ink—
after the hurricane of want
and unfulfilled needs—
I have to admit
I don't think of you as muchNot while I brush my teeth
nor while I enjoy the latest
gossip and tweet
—even the things we used
to do together—
I don't think about you thenIt's not a surprise, though,
broken hearts rarely
ever go back to being whole
we lose pieces along the way
when we leave them
in people we meetI have to be honest
I don't think about
the pieces of my heart
I gave you nor the scathing
burns you gave me in return
Just like the scars I now bore
from your hands
so will my hand fade from yours
once you figured out why I leftI have to be honest
—it's the only way
to stay sane—
I didn't think of you
the way you did to me
I didn't see you the way
you want to see me
—and it's just how things goSo now in my journey
to move on—I have to admit—
I don't think about you
as much
