Until You Disappear

They asked about you today,

But it didn't send me to the dark place

As the reminders often do.

Instead, I answered their questions

Simply without much thought.

Perhaps I am becoming numb to this. 

Numb is good.

Feeling only produces anger

And then the tears fall.

They lead to the dark place.

No one is happy there.

I don't look at your picture anymore.

I don't find it necessary.

I remember your face 

And all that comes with it.

They say that time heals a broken heart,

But I don't believe that mine is broken.

I don't allow that anymore.

Time does help you forget about people.

With each new day 

The memories fade

Until they are no longer

And with no new ones to make,

One simply disappears.

That is what you wanted,

Isn't it?-
