bravery.

I know I’ve said erasing it

Is not facing it

And that to face something takes bravery

Well, I’m done crying

And I’m sick of waiting

For something that will never happen

I’m sorry I missed you

And that I fell for

“unconditional” love provided

Through thick and thin

Until the final spin

When you split

Slowly but surely

You erased the happiness

The love we had

For one another

Slide it under the cover

To be buried with me

Now, it’s my turn

Never thought it'd come to this

So much for learning to trust

Instead ill learn to erase

And delete every last place

I secretly hold you in

I faced it

And I took the beating hard

While he ran

And left me standing

On a ledge looking up, praying

For answers

I’m done hurting

Done with thinking you won’t leave

That you couldn’t have left

So I’m going to block you

From my memories for a new

Day that I will get through
