Tonight my love

Tonight my love, I get rid of your cologne stained

bed-sheets that were blemished across my pillow case

reminding me of our awakening on the weekends, so filled

with intoxicants rallying through our bodies

Tonight my love, I get rid of the hand made letters that 

were so carelessly written, The OP shop books we so valued

and the engraved necklace shaped of a love heart that printed 

"I love you"

Tonight my love, I clean forget our mid night phone 

calls that were chock-full of mendacity, my mind begging me to 

hang up. 

Tonight darling, the carefully painted art work of us both has been

removed and varnished by the very essence that wanders beneath this

crippled heart.

Tonight I finally close the doors to our future,

the future you very well promised me, although 

this journey has ended, my love for you will soar as high 

as the summer kites. 

Tonight my love, as I discern my self worth, I will erase 

every letter tattooed onto my flesh of your spoken words 

and mend this battered heart of mine, alone

The angst of breaking away from love. After reading your poem, I just realized how difficult it is to let go, especially that there are a lot of things that reminds you of him.

You truly captured the very scene of completely erasing love's existence. Thanks for sharing this one! :)

Your poem is a refreshing read on an old story. Your little details kept me reading and that's what made it interesting. The aftermath of a love that went bad is never easy to go through. Writing about it helps to purge bad feelings and move on.

Thank you so much for the feeback! Love is a strange feeling, although we cannot live without it! But moving on is the best thing to do! Again, thank you :)
