Go

For the longest time,

everything within in me 

wanted to hold on to you,

wanted to cling on to you.

My thoughts never separated

themselves from your name,

from your face,

from your hateful words.

I used to dwell deeply

on our past, what we were,

and I forgot that I needed

to look ahead to my own future.

But now, I have decided to be free.

You will no longer be in my mind,

you will no longer take over my dreams,

you will no longer be a person I cling to.

So go.

Far away.

Run.

I do not want you here.

Go

where you want,

be

who you want,

and

never come back.

For if you do,

I will surely never recover.
