Sorelle 1d
I’m deleting you in fragments
Digits before pictures
Like pulling teeth in the wrong order
The apps still think we’re married
Offering me sales on rings
A carousel of anniversaries I don’t want tickets for
Every playlist is wired with shrapnel
A hook catches my ribs
The bridge splits open under me
Even silence feels like background music I forgot to turn off
Your name surfaces in autofill
A half-built ghost the keyboard won’t let rot
Loss written out for me before I even breathe it
I clear the cache
But the body has no settings menu
Skin remembers fingerprints
Shoulders still flinch at phantom weight
The servers keep everything
So do I
Unopened folders
Permissions denied
A hard drive buzzing at night
With what it refuses to erase
Storage hums with locked doors
And the silence clicks
Like teeth behind them
-Sorelle
The way you treated me,
After all you did to me,
Now suddenly your mood changed,
Is this game you played?

After you said no,
I was broken into pieces,
But now you want to change the flow,
Still — I’ll rather say no.

Let me tell you what you are:
A narcissist so bizarre,
A girl with bad hair,
A girl with no self-care.

You were too short for me anyways,
A dwarf with a bloated head,
One whose integrity is dead.
I’ll pass on this offer —
Because what is that you can differ?

Erase me from your life,
Stop dreaming of being my wife,
Cause my answer is still no —
Is all you need to know.

I wish you a great life ahead —
A Life with new beginning,
A life with some self-respect;
As you all have some right now,
Was straight up disrespect.

If only you had said yes before,
God knows what we could explore,
But you have now become my foe,
An annoying little crow.

You destroyed me from inside out,
I wept until my eyes dried out.
Your thoughts were moving in my head,
Now they are locked away in a shed.

I can’t forget all that,
We can’t just start from the back,
I will hate you for the rest of my life,
A fire that will burn bright.

I wish you could just vanish,
Those memories that have tarnished,
But you are still standing in front of me,
With the attitude of a wannabe.

My answer will always be no,
Forget I was your beau,
This is the best we both can do,
Nothing more to review.
You are just the thief of my life,
Which I have killed with a sharpen knife.
Thank you for everything,
Even though I didn’t receive anything,
I loved the time we spent
For what it was meant.

Even though your distance hurts me
I will be the first one to say
You taught me how to find the way
When my heart was mercilessly slayed

I forgive you; I still love you,
But, for what is worth,
You were my new birth,
A birth to new life,
One where I became invincible for life.

Your heartbreak made me strong,
Made me realize where I went wrong,
Now I know what do,
When someone leaves me like you.

Thank you for what time we spent
The sleepless wide awake
I know you thought about me once
But I remember you with every pulse
Your sweat memories,
Are stored like documentaries;
Your joyful laughter,
Is what I am still after.

However, distanced we are,
Just remember I am not far,
If u need a friend in the middle of the night,
Call me and I will be as ready as a knight.

I know we can’t amend the past,
I know you treat me like I am your past,
You don’t even see me anymore,
Then what do the late-night talks for?

Girl all you gave me was hatred,
But this was my heart’s prize,
Or I shall say price,
For loving you for the years I waited.

But in the end I thank you,
For everything you lead me too,
I am out of your sorrow,
And waiting for a stronger tomorrow.

And just when I thought
I was over you
You came back
Like a sucker punch
You left an impression
Then left altogether
And now I have to start over
Being over you

You’re not letting me go.
You’re making everything harder,
slowing down my plans.

Do you still miss me?

When the lands have run dry,
And the fruits have shriveled up
When the breeze makes you shiver
And the bees are laid to rest

I Remember our December
The warmth of candle lit conversation
And our anticipation

I sowed the seeds of our regret
After the frost, to forget.
And in the spring came the crop.
Then the memories came flooding in

A beautiful harvest, but one only I got to see
Far too late
Too much for me to bare, it lays rotting.
Baron and defeated

And then the cycle continues
Each year, the fields more fruitful than the last
And each year I let it rot away.
Fragile memories never looked back.

I reminisce on what could have been
And then a little dove, flew through my window
To remind me of what was
I tended to the harvest that year.

I cherished every fruit, handling it with care
Looking back on each memory we shared.
Each a hard lesson to learn from
The love is gone but not forgotten

Now each year I collect
No longer neglecting the fields
Using my yields to learn and grow
But always knowing, how I'll miss you so
This poem is about closure, and how processing past relationships can be hard, but each experience of ours can be a fruitful lesson we sometimes need to learn

I wrote a poem,
hoping you'd see
But I changed my mind,
I'm keeping it for me
Today isn't special,
just a Thursday in July
Everyday it's easier,
you're further out my mind
Champagne Problems playing in my ear
I deleted my poem, thoughts not for you to hear
