my friends tell me I write too many poems about you
I laugh at them because I say that to myself too
but thinking of you makes me feel
and feeling makes me want to write about you
and maybe it isn't so bad
to tell the world what you did to me
sometimes even broken rhymes
can be a form of therapy
I wish I could forget you
press Delete on your folder in my mind
but there's a part of me that stops me from
pulling the lever of forgetfulness
what if the day I stop remembering
is the day I stop thinking
is the day I stop feeling
is the day I stop writing
