Your name brings me inner turmoil Reminding me that the peace your absence gave me has an aftertaste. Torn between forgiveness and acceptance Or clinging on to that version of you that stays the same . I have not once told this story lightheartedly I weighs heavy in my chest , escapes my lips ,barely The issue being I simply can't forget the ugly of it all and it's beauty Can we feign to forget something the body can't erase ? The sound of your voice , the smile freckle on your cheek Bind to your hip from day one , your memory , is something I just can't shake . I'm made up of so much of you in more ways than one In who I was , who I am , who I'll become Hating you is the most foolish mistake I can make As it means hating parts of me that I simply can't take away .
