Don't forget to grieve the death of love
Especially the bad affairs
The horrible excuse of
and shipwreck relationships
The ones that left you silently crying
into your pillow every night
The ones where you cared too much
And they didn't care at all
The ones where after you left
Begged you to come back
With the same empty apology of
I'm sorry that I hurt you
When all they meant was
That their sorry that you left
Grieve and cry and fold away
The memories into the scars
Of the death of love
Holding back the tears
Is holding onto hope
And holding onto hope
Only gives them the opportunity
To pull you back again and again
So cry and grieve until their poisoned
Cruel love is in the grave where it belongs
