Moving Day

I want to write a piece
That doesn’t evoke
Strong memories
Of you and me
I want to erase
All traces of you
From my mind
Like
Total Recall
But
In reverse
Loving you
Has been both
A blessing
And
A curse
My heart
Always kept a window open
For those I deeply loved
In the past
But
Too many lingering pests
Found their way back in
And
Ruined
My beautiful home
I can no longer live
In that kind of place
Certain things
Just no longer exist
For me
As they did before
My value is high
My self worth
Has greatly increased
Significantly
I know who I am
And
What I deserve
The house is no longer
Open
I have healed
And
Moved on
