garbage

September 8, 2013

I’m deleting you from my hard drive.

So I can stop loving you.

Every apologetic document that I never sent

trashed

So I can crumple you up and throw you out

not recycling or compost

you’re irredeemable.

So I can begin to hate you

til you’re ready for me to erase you.
