____________________

I want to unknow you,
I want to uncare
I want to unshow you
I want to unshare.

I want to unlove you,
I want to untry
I want to unforgive
I want to uncry.

I want to unhold you,
I want to undo this
I want to unremember
I want to undo that first kiss.

This is the second time I have commented on your poem Un- Simple words with a BIG message. It's strange that the only person who can stop you from crying it the person who made you cry in the first place. Cal Bambi

Jessica, This poem speaks for a lot of people, me included. Isn't it wonderful what we all can do with words. Very well written. We have all had these thoughts. Thanks for putting them to paper for us. Well done.

Yes that is exactly how I feel towards my x of whom I was married for 22 years. Except for my children I wish that I had never met her.
