Last Time

 
This is the last time I’ll allow thoughts of you to dwell within my brain.
If they should appear unannounced I will lovingly show them
the way of egress.
I’ve thought of us all too often despite the fact
that “us” never was.
There was you
 and there was me and
there was an absurd vagueness
that loomed over us like a despicable black cloud.
I pray that you find light and love
and all the things I use to dream of.
Exclusivity.
Longevity.
Someone worthy of your last name.
You can’t be a fence to every flower in your garden
but I pray that you find the one
that makes your spirit bloom.
Just remember,
love is not fractional,
and you should immediately divest
from your polyamorous heart.
It’s not doing you any favors.
You missed out on something real.
You were the exception to my every rule
and the yes to unexpected questions.
“What could have been” is haunting and I swear
I will love you forever.
Still,
this is the last time I’ll allow thoughts of you to dwell within my brain.
If they should appear unannounced I will lovingly show them
the way of egress.
 
Or not…
