Today i begin letting go.


I am letting go


of the staircase,

where we fell in love.


I am letting go


of the pinecones

you painted blue.


I am letting go


of the hurt you gave me.


I am letting go



of the love you gave me.


I am letting go



of the person i fell in love with

that died.


I am letting go



of the friendship bracelet you gave me.


I am letting go



of loving you.


I am letting go



of the birthday cards

you gave me.


I am letting go



of the comments you made about

my friends.


I am letting go



of the things you've probably said behind my back.


I am letting go


of heather.


I am letting go


of remembering every detail.


I am letting go



of everything.





And she is everything.





I refuse to hurt you

like you hurt me.


And i refuse

to ever, ever say anything negative about you.


I refuse

to find comfort in being hurt


even if the hurt is from you.


I will listen to heather

one last time

And i will look at the things you gave me

one last time

And i will sing the songs i wrote for you

one last time

And publish my last poem about you

one last time.

And on June 28th

I'm going to burn it.


Every note you've passed me

Every page of ranting

Every text message

Every poem,

Every song.


I'm going to burn

everything.

And one day

I will let go




and i will forget.
