How long it’s been

How long it’s been Since I saw you. I used to look forward to you, Now I dread seeing you. I blocked all ties to you From my mind, My heart, My contacts And my social media. Your last words, “Kiss my ass, boy” A reminder of what I meant to you. I was nothingContinue reading “How long it’s been”
