i deleted your number from my cell phone i deleted every first every last and every in-between conversation and message and letter and poem from every modern source you'd ever written me from i deleted every single photograph every song every "to watch" on "our list" i deleted "our list" all together i threw away the sunflowers the roses the button-pins the heart-shaped box along with the cinema metro and music festival stubs stored within it i threw away the books the t-shirts the drawings the key-chain and every other ******* gift i threw away the old bed sheets, the ones we last lied on together and replaced it with a new set and another's pulse i erased you from my presence i erased you of all memories you're merely in my mind i no longer need you i no longer want you i no longer love you
