Pushing Away.


“leave!” she cried out.

she pushed away the presence of the one who broke a piece of her soul,

and she tried to make sure that it was behind her.

 

and slowly, the presence became a person who she knew

the presence became a person she once loved.

 

her back was facing him,

going farther away,

and the presence was never able to be in front of her

after she said,

“leave!”
