square one

pack up the past
and put it away
to the back of storage
for a far off day
it wasn't quite useless
but it won't help you now
so let go the ache
unfurrow your brow
remove all the pictures
from off of your phone
delete all the texts
leave memory alone
keep busy, keep moving
until you forget
let go of the hope
that he'll someday regret
back to square one
clean off the slate
a new day begins
it's never too late
