How to Forget You
I will fill my head with the verses that speak through every withered bone, replacing thoughts and pictures I was hiding
“Chase them out,” I say
My mouth will tell a better story than the one you read so slowly
And closed the chapter with your lips
Today, that story is replaced by a newfound realization that I exist on more than lines of a page
Finally, I will shut my eyes away from letters, gifts, your body
To keep them in the dark, where they will stay. I’m opening up. To find the things that I once loved. Distractions have been eliminated. I’ve made my mind up permanently
And that is how I’ll forget your name.
