timelines

its been

moments since I thought about you

in any capacity

minutes since

I remembered some portion of our story

hours since I felt anger

days since I tried to pick up my phone

weeks since I last contacted you

months since we last touched.

 

its been

 

months since you crushed me

weeks since I put on the brave face

days since I longed for you

hours since I spoke of you

minutes of starring into a blank screen

silently pleading

moments before all this is behind me again.

 

It’ll be

 

Moments of weakness

when I think about “us”

Minutes of silent cursing

while you run through my mind

Hours of rationalizing

before I let it go

Days of depression

 

I know

 

Weeks of emotions crammed into a few minutes

Months of self doubt and insanity

 

Soon it’ll be

 

years

 

But I’ll always have

 

 

the

 

 

 

tears.
