POEM STARTER

Submitted by Margaret Sok

“You’ve come back, but I no longer need you.”

Write a poem or short story including this line.

You. Are. Forgotten.

I am over you.


You are not 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥𝘦𝘥.


I have fogotten you like the ocean has forgotten all the souls it’s drowned.


I buried you in my depths, in the safety of darkness.


I will never look at you again.


You are as invisible as my hope. Vanishing just as quickly as it came.


You are gone. You are over. I am done.


I obssesed over you— then I misjudged you.


You may be nice, but you are not kind.


You may know a lot, but you are not wise.


You may have some good in you, but you are not innocent.


You may have a little light in your soul, but that doesn’t mean you lack darkness.


You have just as much blood on your hands as I do.


You are I monster. A monster like me.


And you are forgotten as you forgot me.


And when you come running back, I will tell you:


You’ve come back, but I no longer need you.
