"you will learn to fall in love with shadows
/
instead of the bodies that cast them."
George Abraham, “How to Disappear,”
When you're gone
I'm going to tear down this shrine
I made in your name
Inside my ribcage
And maybe I'll breathe easily again.
When you're gone
I will forgive myself
For all the crimes I contemplated committing
Firmly under your influence.
When you're gone
I'm going to forget what it does to me
When a face lights up as I enter the room
So I can get over
The emptiness behind your eyes
Now whenever you look at me.
When you're gone
I'll stop blaming you for my own flaws
And become my own hero again...
