I feel like I'm supposed
To just move on.
But how?
How do you move on
From something that changes
The very ground you stand upon?
How do you move on
From a person who
Healed you just to wreck you?
How do you move on
From something like that?
Where do you even start?
How do you move on
When poetry no longer works?
When poetry is no longer sufficient?
When poetry no longer heals the way it used to?
How do you know where to start
When all you want to do
Is lay in bed
And listen to "You're Losing Me"?
How am I supposed to move on
When he destroyed me?
How do you heal
From that kind of betrayal?
How do you learn to live
With the scars that he crafted?
That he tore open?
That he ignited?
