Let me not
wipe these tears away
as they fall
into this baby-sized grave
continuously deepened
by these regretful punches
which I’ve been howling
into this very lawn
on this lovely spot we melted
every time I think of you
and regret meeting you
But before I punch any further
and drill any deeper
into the erupting volcanoes
of my once-grounded rage
I’ve decided to move out
and get away
from this enchanted lawn
and it’s uncut memories of you
Right after
I’ve placed these pictures of you
and this favourite one of Us
alongside these letters
we exchanged
at the peak of infatuation
while seated
on this very lawn
And as I
hold back in thought
struggling to
close up this grave
I only wish I could
also bury
that part of you
that has failed
to fade away
from within me
for I’d love to
cover this grave up
with all reminders of Us
and all my thoughts of You
safely inside it,
patiently waiting
for earthworms to swallow them
Although I just hope
that I will be able to
forget about you too
just as you’ve forgotten about me
instantly
as soon as I have
placed my favorite picture of you
and that of Us
shallowly beneath the
little heart-shaped tombstone
which you once gave me
as a collateral gift
on our 5th month anniversary
