[ 1. 17 ]
upon reuniting with daybreak,
i found the note
with my name furiously slashed across the front
sitting on your old seat this morning.
it read:
"dear you,
i
hate
you.
our story was poems manifesting themselves as
moments, the most beautiful kind
and the poem that's still you is not one
that i can erase from myself.
your memory is buoyant,
unable to drown
in all the liquor i down
in trying to forget you.
know what else burns me?
the kush i send down my lungs
is unable to get to my heart and
take your place;
loving you, through all this
has me so full of hate.
you give me so much to forgive
that i can't forget you;
you're unforgettable,
too damn memorable,
and that's why i hate you."
