the most difficult pieces — a poem about bitterness after a breakup

the most difficult pieces are
that you've made me
the enemy

that you've torn down
everything

that we're only
memories
where i thought
we were
family

that your blood smears
the sunlight,
no salve coating
the night

that you only see
the times
i left,
not the years
i stayed

that you acknowledge
the endings
but never
the reasons

that you choose
drama
over
peace

that you chose this
over me
