Quartered
Part of me wants to run
Run away, like I would have if he was
A cave bear a million years ago
Or the Titanic crashing into my iceberg
Or a truck flying through the air
Run fast and run hard and run far, far away
So he will never find me
Hide as he passes and
Disappear
From him
Part of me wants to fight
Destroy him utterly, like im 1950s
Japan, and he's Pearl Harbor
Like he's a nuclear testing site,
Waiting for my bomb
Fight hard and leave nothing behind me
So he will never get up
Watch him break as
Blood
Falls with his tears
Part of me wants to turn back time
Back to when we were happy and
He loved me
I loved him
We loved
Go back to when everything was okay
And wipe the memories of heartbreak
Watch him smile at me
Again
Feel good
Part of me wants to heal
To move past what we did
Brush off the broken pieces
Blow away the dust and ashes
Grow again
To remember how to smile
And to smile on my own
Watch him be my
Friend
And apologize
