memories

A Poem by awkward turtle
"

ex boyfriend.

"

driving alone in my car

the same phrase chants in my head

a year ago...

a year ago...

a year ago...

less often than it used to

it's only when i see a bicycle

or someone on a skateboard

or i drive down park ave

a year ago...

when i hear that one song

or two, or several

or hear someone with that name being called

a year ago...

or stand on the east end

or go to videoport

or drive past the restaurant

or...

a year ago...

i compare my levels of happiness

how do i feel now?

how did i feel a year ago?

i compare my levels of self-worth

i've no more happy memories

i've no reasons to think we were right

i've dozens of reasons we were wrong

a year ago...

i still can't shake him
