I choke on the tears I won't let fall
they stay buried deep down
left in the back of my eyes
like waterfalls
waiting to crash
and break your backbone
bruise every inch of your skin
every piece she touched
destroy the memory
and every flashback
my mind
flooding with words for you
secrets I've just found out
but my lips stay sealed
my feet stay planted on the ground.
I won't fall,
not this time.
