i don't want them to come back
i've liked this lull in reality
and the sharp clicked heels of her toes
on the sidewalk will
only remind me of the pain
and her raccoon eyed
high hair will make my nails seethe
everythings just so much simpler
when they're gone

and besides
its easier to stay in this space
of not forgiving
but not forgoing
when she is not
here
