“Being without you

feels so much better

than I ever thought it would.

I don’t wake up in the morning

panicked, wondering

if you made it home,

or who you went home with.

There was no closure

in our demise, mostly when

you burned yours in the flames

that used to be our love.

But I don’t need your final

words on how you tried

so hard to make it work

while I just tried to get out.

Because that was never

how it went, and if it did,

I was too distracted by the way

your hands kept telling me to go

whenever you touched me.

And now that I’m finally gone

you’ve given me even more proof

that I was never wrong

when it came to decoding

what it really was you wanted to say

and what it really was

that you wanted me to do.”
