Acceptance

The days of wrapped arms and
simple kisses were forgotten
we tore away
your gaze grazing the tender breakings
of my heart

slowly overcoming
attachment
I painfully grew apart
choking down comfort words and
sputtering on reason

-broke away-

acceptance comes hardest
without knowing what you're
thinking

closure is a beautiful thing
-closing you off-
part of healing,
I cast you away from me
as something that doesn't belong.
