Bitters

I went back
and deleted
every picture
of you

Because how could I
scroll through all those
once
happy memories
now tainted
with bitterness?

I loved you
I did
And when I saw you
pulling away
I latched on
tighter
and tighter
until I
was suffocating you
until you could not breathe
and there was not room
for the both of us

How can I blame you
from keeping things from me

I don't blame you
But I do
resent you

And I'm sorry
