The Most Daunting Task: Forgetting

"it still  petrifies  me,
even  after so  many  attempts,
the  daunting task,
of forgetting  you..
of unlearning,
your voice,
your eyes,
your kisses,
your promises..

at first my heart revolts,
but it must be done..
so i hold on courageously,
and march along..

but to forget,
i must first remember..
so, i replay..
all the nights we shared,
and the sunrises we saw..
all the secrets we told,
and  the promises we made..

only then i proceed,
to dismiss,
to erase,
to forget..
i retrace all the steps we walked
and i replace all the things you touched,
i bury all the gifts we exchanged ,
and burn all the poems you wrote..

only i must be penalized,
for being fantastically foolish..
you will be spared..
but abandoned..
much like a nasty half-truth..

i will not,
cry or yell or whimper,
but i will also,
no longer share,
the gift of,
my voice,
my smile,
my aura..

for you must learn too,
alongside me,
that the only way,
to not get hurt,
is by never getting,
TOO ATTACHED...
