Attempt 3759

Yesterday I tried to write a poem about you.

And all the things we went through in our attempt to keep a friendship

But there was nothing else to say to you

That for years I hadn’t tried and failed, to verbalize.

Maybe last month my heart was bursting with emotion

And I couldn’t focus on anything but the dynamics of our relationship and how it all went down.

Yesterday,

I tried to write all those emotions.

Yesterday,

I wanted to vent

Or hurt you with all the words I hadn’t finished saying

But most of all, yesterday,

I wanted to reach out to you

To say sorry

For leaving

But that I could never come back

Yesterday,

I tried to cry for you

And unlike the other times

Yesterday,

no tears came

Looks like my head has accepted the split

And my heart no longer bleeds for you to come running back

Yesterday I had a question,

Is it safe to say that I’ve let go?
