move along!

By RubyXero

How can I possibly erase you from my life?
When I find you at the bottom
of every drawer.
Falling out of
over turned pages.
When for so long, you have
completely consumed me?
The memory of the life we
had... and the mistakes you
made.
Cost us everything.
Everything...
Now a constant reminder.
And I'm just supposed to let this all go.
Fly away in the wind
and forget?
Though I should, I don't
nor do I cling to it.
But I lock it away
along with the piece of me it destroyed.
For I have moved on.
I have found happiness
Tangible.
That I love just how it's presented.
The question remains...
will I ultimately be a lost cause?
Or can I finish what I've started
if the opportunity presents itself?
I try...
only taking small glances to the future
living slowly, day by day.
But he has jumped in
head and heart alike
first.  Planning and hoping
quoting "forever"
and I love him.
But my worry is not for now...
but lays within the poison
later injected, killed...
destroyed.
God, I'm a monster.
Feeding on hearts
I feast.
Sadly, I feast.
