I cried,

And you left,

I lied,

You took a deep breath,

You told me you hated me,

I sobbed,

As if you could never take it back,

It took me a minute to relize,

It was just my anxiety,

As I rolled up the letter,

My brain with all the words anyone has ever said,

Stained there in print,

As I let go,

I want you to know,

It was so hard,

As I watched the paper roll down the block.
