Breakup

I erased, I blocked, I deleted him
No memories of his on my phone
No more going back to his texts
No headphones buzzing his voice notes
No more day dreams, no nightmares I bet
I’ll surely get over him, I thought

I closed my eyes with a mastered smile

The peace of having moved on

And that is when all fell apart
And that is when it dawned upon
All those memories that kept me glued
came rushing gushing back to me
Its just a flash, before its done, I thought
All thats dusted will be gone

His words once more, ringed in my ears
His love, his gestures, spread right out there
Like a projector put in the inner walls
of my eyes, corners flooded with mere tears
I erased in vain all that was his
What I couldn’t erase was still within
All that is, was his, is still with me
Will stay with me, until I’m gone??
