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.
