Thawing Out

It do be like that sometimes.

He left you

He is gone

He is never coming back

He left you

He is gone

He 

Will

Never

Come

Back

For

You

Read it.

Say it aloud.

Let it shred you

Even now

Months away

In a new world

Scream it from a mountain top

He left

He is never coming back

For you

Whisper it to yourself

Until you can’t feel it anymore

Remind yourself every minute

He tries to creep back to you

Say it over and over again

Until the ice melts

Until the bleeding stops

And you finally

Let yourself rip off the rear-view

And drive away

Drive fast

As fast as you can

With the windows down

And music blasting

Because

He has been long gone

And you’ve got a lot of miles

To ride

He left you

But that leaves you

With a hell of a lot.
