*I shall write you off*

I washed my skin and rubbed and rubbed,

Cheeks which you kissed and the body that you hugged

I pleaded the wind to blow off your scent

The scent of your breath, away from me.

I brushed the towel hard, to soak off your love

And I hung myself in the heat of sun.

And to cleanse my insides, I shall write you off.

With the ink I’ll paint the pages black.

Scribble out your memories from the insides of my soul.

I shall write and write and accept it more.

With every penned word, I’ll send you away… away from me

And let the remnants of you, sail away free.
