indifferentA Poem by Athena Angel
i moved to a new city
to escape the memory i couldn’t stand the thought of it going down every busy street we used to drive down you and me how painful it can be to occupy a space that someone used to fill time stood still and i’d still think of you, overkill love has so much meaning when it’s not asked to be seen given with ease, so easy i couldn’t stand the thought of you with them but it was always going to be them i had a dream you came back and we were content it never had to end letters i’d never send for fear you’d be irreverent i don’t think it would make a difference so i wasn’t completely honest i never told you how much it hurt your indifference i stayed up for nights on end cried in bathtubs filled with grief wine glasses that took away the feeling of being the second choice, an afterthought when you were all i’d ever want i thought you were it, but you stood there indifferent i look back at it all with grace for the good times we got to create they lie in an invisible locket i keep them safe i remember when i needed you i can no longer relate but i’ll still love you either way you moved to a new city you thought you were safe but i’m on your mind everyday because that’s just it i was never indifferent © 2021 Athena Angel |
