Lets take all the sounds we made and trash them.
We hit that delete key. Erased the past.
“We’re not ‘friends’ anymore” I spit like venom. Her eyes read of sorrow.
“why?” she exhales.
I think before I speak. I think I wanna say, because you hurt me. I held you close to me emotionally. I let you in. tears want to pound the desk beneath me. I care about you! Snow fills my brain and cloudy forecasts become my emotions. 99.9% chance of rain, then ice, and I’m cold to her again.
“Why?” she asked. I think I wanna say, I almost loved you! You… almost made me love you. Almost doesn’t count. I have no reason to explain to her why I am hurt or why I need distance without her thinking I am crazy. All I have is this poem. This is why.
“we just can’t” I say lowering my head and my voice.
“you’ve been doing this since day one! all the time!” she’s upset now. Fire fills her words and the spaces between them. I am left with the thoughts of her hurting me and she has no idea why I need to get away. She has no clue that I need protection.
“is this what you really want? Let me know!” she says. I want to nod my head yes and say no.
Yea, but, I almost loved you. I think. And here you go, making others almost love you. You think that what I said was a lie!? All the words I wrote for you were pulled from air and all the times I wanted to be near you was just because? I almost loved you. Just go away. I don’t want to almost anything in your direction anymore.
“I don’t know” I become inconsistent and wish I could retract those words. Suck them up like a tornado and destroy this whole situation. “I mean, yes, yes, that’s what I want.”
She hangs up. she walks away. She disappears. I feel after her for some comfort on my part but the space is negative, here comes the rain. To wash away the snow and settle into ice.
She is soon forgotten.
