Erase You
Poetry for XiuHanIf I could erase your existence
And start over on a blank page
I would write a new story for myself,
A story about how “I’m doing well;”
A story without you.
But you’ve engraved your existence
So deeply into these pages
Even if I try to erase you
Your outline would still be there
So unless I become someone else,
Unless I tear out every page in this book,
Unless I burn this book of life away,
You will always be a part of me.
