.This Moment.

Let's digress to the
moment
when emotion mattered.
When I loved the
shadow
over enmity's glow.
When I loved the
bruises
your kiss blessed me with.
When I loved
you.


Let's digress for the
moment
and savor the aroma of apathy.
Now that I can
remember
and my heart not skip.
Now that I can
look at you
and realize there was nothing.
Now that I can
let go.

Let's hold this
moment
until I watch you walk away.
So we don't
ruin
the perfection of realization.
So we don't
forget
that it wouldn't work out again.
So we don't
forgive.

Let's abandon the
moment
so I can move on with life.
So I can
love
without Memory following me.
So I can
breathe
without praising or cursing your name.
So I can
live.

Let's let go.
