The "I miss you" message
emerged on my phone
from someone who gave me joy
when they left me alone
:
I thought I had blocked them
just to keep my peace in tact
:
Maybe getting a new phone
doesn't transfer
the boundaries over
just like my numerous
lost contacts
:
So I blocked them again
not out of spite
but for self-preservation
:
For as much as I've been hurt
hate is absent in my heart for anyone
:
Hate requires passion
and I just don't have the energy to spend
on someone who has shown me
they aren't worth the effort I once tried to give
:
By hurting me over and over again
without accountability
:
I hold no grudge
but I also don't accept
any peace disturbances
:
Negativity
I once held
expels
when I write
music and words
:
Upon the paper
my thoughts and feelings
have found their ink-stained grave
:
After the acknowledgments
My mind can rest in peace
