a rejection of verbal closure

by Emily G Myers

I don't want you to call
I don't want closure
I don't want to reopen an almost-healed wound
I don't want to start crying
cause I just got that stopped
I don't want to know what you meant to do
I'd rather just know how stupid I was
to think it was anything more than what it was
forget leading me on
forget your lack of honesty
I admit I should have known
I know I should have seen it
felt it in your kiss
in your hand on my arm
and I can admit it all
just don't remind me
I don't want to hurt again
I just want this to be over
so when we pass down a hallway
only pleasantries are exchanged
so I can take steps
without you crunching beneath my shoes

I'm still alive
I'm still alive

let's keep it that way
okay?
