~a poem about letting go~

I am the ocean - not the waves
waves come and go
energy / emotion / in motion
nostalgia [stop] I choke on a memory
we're together [dreaming]
I tear out the happiest memories // rip them at the seams
crumple them into tiny balls [of light]
I toss them into the air // catch them in my mouth
wallow / wallow / wallow
swallow my past - swallow my tears
I'm [done] smearing them around on the page
all the while I still think of you.
