Time to Move On

I have struck you from my life

But it is an empty gesture

You left long ago

First in your thoughts

I could see they were far away

Soon you followed them

Symbolically I have removed you

I no longer speak your name

or go to shared places

Your pictures are gone

Any trace of you is vanished.

 

Now, how do I rid myself

of thoughts of you?

I want to scrub you from my mind

Delete the memories

I need a time machine

To go to pre-you times

Or a dalek to exterminate you

From my thoughts,

 

Perhaps I am on the right track now

I need to forgive myself

Re-find my sense of humour

Confine you to the

'Oh, boy was that a biga mistakea to makea' file

Shake my head, and with an ironic smile

Move on, take away your power

Place all memories of you

in a boat, set it alight

Send it  out to float away forever.

 

Turn now, move on.

'I have stuck you from my life'

Did you mean 'struck'?

Know those feelings, all so well.
They have receded into the corners of my mind these days, but even there they can and do occasionally cause the wheels of this wagon to come off its tracks.

Forgiveness (not sure what the person concerned did to hurt you) for me maybe not forgiveness, but the need to no longer let them get to me.  

The meaning/feeling behind your words are well described.

Hi , I needed to forgive myself for making such a mistake!!  I tend to hold those things against myself?  Thanks for reading it and for the comment. Always good to see/ know someone has read it and comments are gold nuggets!
