Nov 2018
each year
each month
each day
is marked on your timeline.
you tossed me out of your timeline.
and i try to toss you out of mine.
there’s a hole in the year 2018
and other people wonder,
“why is that tickmark not there?”
but we don’t say a thing.
we shrug our shoulders,
“i don’t know.”
and the year’s about to end, francis.
where does my tickmark go now?

background: it’s not easy to forget someone who’s been included into your life for awhile. you want to forget but you can’t. unsure of if i should remember this old reality or if i should keep trying to forget it.
