Living With A Ghost Longer Than A Lover
I saw her the other day
Tried to avoid her
Hoping she would not see me
My friend called me over
I could have walked right past her
To get to his desk
But i took the long way around
He asked about my birthday
Even though he was there
He asked about my grandparents
Even though he already knew
I kept my voice low
Not wanting her to hear
Still, my eyes found her
Just for a moment
And it shattered me all over again
I cannot process
How she is so unfazed
How she has erased our history
How she has simply let go.....
A poem for anyone who’s ever watched someone let go and wondered how they could erase everything so easily. Sometimes, the memory outlives the love.
