I need to let go of you
and all of the pain
that you put me through

I need to throw away
the memories that I hold
of the endless nights
during the month of May

I need to let myself breathe
a lesson I continued to learn
every time I watched you leave

I need to burn
everything I hold
of yours
into the urn

Because you promised
forever
Something
I never want to hear
you say
ever.
