keep fighting, fighter


my fingertips

hesitated

over

the screen,

the reflection showing

only swollen

red eyes

and crescent

stamps

underneath them.

i gazed

at the photos of us

in happier times,

the ghost of you

accompanying

the

desirable past.

my heart,

sore with the pressure,

told me what to do.

so today,

i pressed the button,

and i deleted

you.

-i can love you but

still let you go, and

i should.
