Noose

This all started
Simple and kind,
But the noose was
Already around your heart
The flowers and gifts
Live in my home and
I feel like a stranger
In my own space
You’re a memory
Visiting in my dreams,
Invading my mind
During the day
All I want is to
Forget you — it’s
Kinder than your death
How do I remove
Love destroyed by a pain
So severe I am
Afraid I’ll never recover?
Like the wilting roses
You last gave me —
We all live, then die and this
I can never deny.
