i can’t erase you from my mind

but maybe i can scrub you from my skin

so i turn my face to the sky

and let the rain sink in.

water slides down my cheeks

and falls softly to the ground.

i pretend the rain is cleansing me

from the hands that held me down.

the storm slowly stops

and the sky returns to blue.

i have rid my body of your grip—

i am completely untouched by you.

to the one who walked away:

i was scared to be without you.

you used to breathe life into my lungs—

then suddenly i had to breathe on my own.

but i’ve learned i can exist happily

without you.

actually, i can flourish

without you.
