How Do I Unlove
and you still keep me on my toes,
I'm breathless, can't catch the slightest breath
strangling in silence
awaiting to hear your voice,
anything,
but it comes down to reality,
and your here no more,
you've chosen to move on
while I'm locked on rewind,
forgiving silly memories,
forgiving anything to keep me busy
because at night it bites,
creeps up along the bedside, like photographs-
melting in the fire-
the one we caused from fighting,
the fights we stripped each other's pride-
and we'd be right back at the rebound, once the swearing was finished
and the love diminished
and we'd forget it, without regretting it
and leave it on a strong note,
believing it's what we needed,
and now,
it's gone.
