I Deleted You

The days drift by slowly,
And each hour I find something new,
Something that makes me think,
They make me think of you.

I did, I deleted it all,
But still I find more
More things that you wrote me,
And I show them all the door.

I am deleting you,
Slowly but surely.
I’m deleting you from my life,
Even though I’m now feeling so poorly.

Every message that you ever wrote,
Every one that I had kept,
They are all gone now,
And over them I wept.

I rummaged up all my courage,
Just two nights ago,
When I deleted every message from my phone,
Even though my heart was screaming no.

I did it for me,
Your number gone too,
And in the morning,
I deleted you.

No matter how hard I try,
You won’t dare leave my mind,
I deleted the material,
But not you when you were kind.

You changed,
And your life moved on.
I realise this now,
I am left battered and torn.

I deleted you from my life,
But left the door open,
In hopes that one day,
You too will end up broken.
