I was told to write

I was told to write

to write for healing,
to write to stop crying,
to write to forget you,
to write to erase you
and all I do in writing this is to remind you.

I was told to write,
and I decided to write to you,
ask how everything was going in your life,
and the only thing you decided,
was to leave me even more fucked up.

I was told to write,
to be patient,
that oblivion would come
and I'm still waiting
because I don't believe that forgetting is
think of all the things I would do to you

and today all I want to do is run,
go from here,
to another location,
to a healthy place,
to a place that forces me to leave you behind,
that forces me to heal,
a place where I feel safe
because today I discovered that with you,
even if you are never there,
even if you never want to be there,
everything is screwed up.
