Your name brings me inner turmoil
Reminding me that the peace your absence gave me has an aftertaste.
Torn between forgiveness and acceptance
Or clinging on to that version of you that stays the same .
I have not once told this story lightheartedly
I weighs heavy in my chest , escapes my lips ,barely
The issue being I simply can't forget the ugly of it all and it's beauty
Can we feign to forget something the body can't erase ?
The sound of your voice , the smile freckle on your cheek
Bind to your hip from day one , your memory , is something I just can't shake .
I'm made up of so much of you in more ways than one
In who I was , who I am , who I'll become
Hating you is the most foolish mistake I can make
As it means hating parts of me that I simply can't take away .

Time healing wounds, barely
