My Midnight: A Second Collection Of Poetry

Backspace

Backspace

Erase the words

Instead replace

The picture there

With a different face

Disappear

Like you were

Never there

I wish you weren't

But you were

Remember

Every single word

The laughing

Almost sounding rehearsed

The final blow

You did your worst

Forget

Somehow, someday

But not

What I learned

The tables can be turned

Live

On without you

Like you never existed

But still

You did

And finally, heal

Move on

A world so new and real

Bright, intelligent, and strong

This is all you made me feel

----------------------------------------

And now you can rot in a basement, for all I care.
