i thought of how
you had no idea what was going on.
how you had no idea
how broken i was;
how tattered and hollow.
i wondered what you were doing
as i cried and mourned.
as i felt the losses
and went through
the endless reminders.
i wondered if you were smiling;
if you were thinking of me.
if you were writing me or
crying for me.
i wondered and wondered more.
and then i stared to wonder
if wondering about you
was a waste of time.
if by not thinking of you,
i could save my heart.
and i considered it
because i had never been strong
and in that moment i didn't
have any strength to
fight your memories
and win.
