I ripped up the photo of us
I took it off my altar last week
I don’t know if I regret it
Ripping it, I mean
I can always print another,
If I want
The pieces landed on my guitar
I don’t think it was intentional
I was feeling petty and small and
Just a little bit trite
I can’t tell if I miss you
I’ve rebuilt the wall around my heart
Only concerning you, and a few other
Unmentionables
I think it’s going to take me a minute
To come to terms with losing you
I had high hopes for us
My childish view of love and
Relationships shining through
I don’t want to have to say goodbye
To be conquered by fate and truths
Too harsh to be faced together
It’s important for us, it would seem,
To divide and conquer
Fate has other plans for us
Maybe we’ll get drunk together one night and
She’ll whisper them in my ear
Explain to me why we came together
Only to fall apart
Unsatisfied.
Unsure.
