i.
i wanted to write a poem about you
but truthfully, you are just the latest installment in a book
about a girl with no voice
ii.
there are so many kinds of heartbreak
and only so many ways to portray them
you’re not worth the effort to come up with new ones
iii.
you’re just a repetitive chorus in a sad song that never ends
one that i keep singing because it’s easier than trying to talk to you
too bad you’re never around to hear it
iv.
i can write so many lines about how bad you hurt me
i can say that loving you was like investing in stocks during the 20’s
but how can i craft you into a person that loves me again?
v.
i can’t rewrite who you are, nor can i edit out the memories
just as with any book, all i can do is smile fondly at the good parts
i hope that you find yourself doing the same
vi.
i didn’t want to write a poem about you
but honestly, i think it’s about time i concluded this chapter
with a girl who uses her voice
vii.
too bad you won’t be around to hear it
