I wish to purge your memories from my mind. I wish to purge your voice from my head. I wish to purge my thoughts from you. I wish to purge you from me because maybe then I wouldn't hurt anymore. Maybe then I wouldn't lie awake at night wanting to scream. I wouldn't lie awake waiting for a call or you to come through the door. That my heart wouldn't hurt anymore. I want to purge the memories from my mind so that I could finally let go. I can't let go when I have your memories. I want to purge your items from my possession but how could I? They are all I have left of you. No matter how hard I cried or how much I screamed for you to just wake up. You still died.
