I can delete all the pictures,
remove all the accounts,
block you all I want,
but nothing removes the memories filled with smiles,
or the nights I stayed up crying over you.
If anything,
I’m ready to move on from this eternity filled chapter of my life.
You became the trigger to the bullet that set me off,
and it seems there is no way
to take that away from you.
I want to remove your face from my memory,
take all the words you said and hurl them into space,
where nothing lives.
I want to hold myself in the way I wanted you to…
but because of what you were afraid of, you never could.
I’ve grown stronger than you think I have,
and that’s something you, nor anyone,
can take away from me.
