Pirouetting

I’ll always love you but I need to walk away

and there you went

before I could even have my say

I’ll always be here

but I need to walk away

You were unable to meet my eyes

and I thought about all the things that had tied us together

and how we had unravelled

so ferociously

like a ballet dancer

pirouetting

endlessly

I’ll always think of you but I need to walk away

thoughts we didn’t need

Please do not remind me of a time I’d rather forget

memories that need to be left in the past

and maybe they will become

less and less

as time passes

as we both walk away
