I wish you would just flutter away.
It took me so incredibly long
to find the ability-
to spare myself
the further shame and humility...
I thought that I had certainly
(and finally)
scraped my heart clean
existentially
to its edges:
Inside
Around
Outside
its entire volume,
creating the hollow
so that I would be able
to place something
new inside it...
Now that I've let you go,
your essence mercilessly
haunts me
every place that I attempt to make new
for me,
still singing in my ear,
ever so torturously soft,
leaving its chilling
kiss on my forehead,
eyes,
cheeks,
nose,
and lastly
on the now useless lips
that I once told you
would always
be yours.
