How I let go of you and held on too.

TonightI will get drunk on the poetry we wrotethrow my tears on the fire burning everlastingly.That love didn't stop your heart from turning cold for me.Wrap my fingers around the words we spoke andplace them in the drawer that keeps your pictures too.Watch my moon and stars collapse as I accept that my worldI must finally renew.Write a prayer for us, for me, for youon the same page lettered with your name in gold.Take in a lesson or two.Take a lesson or two. I will plant your roses outside my roomhang your artwork on the wall next to my bed.Your kind words, I will give to someone else andpray you get rewarded for them.Our past, I will set on the shelf next to my favourite books.These are the things I will hold ontothey belong to someone I once loved, once knew. The people we were before still exist somewhere in time and space. How unfortunate it would be to keep their chaos alive and instead throw their love away.- Samihah Pargas- Instagram: ShadesOfHerInk
