Take a Hint

Take a hint Leave me alone Don’t call Don’t write Not even a text I don’t want to see your face Don’t want to hear your words Your voice makes me nauseous Rip my eardrums from my head Your flowers meet the trash Without ever touching a vase Your cards meet the fire Without ever being read Your messages are erased Without ever being heard Your face is forgotten Without losing a tear You’ve done me wrong I’ll never forgive you for that So please Take a hint Vanish and leave me alone

You've been wronged but you must forgive, Matthew. It is easy to say but it is hard to do. Try. I hope you will feel alright with time and His help. Love ya, Toquyen
