Left Behind

by Nicole M. - Gemini

I am tired 
  and worn down
by dragging these
 moments with me
so now
  I leave them here
To lighten 
   or maybe just make room
I leave behind
   the man I created
a shameful sugar paste with
   the disconnected actions
that got me by with little attatchment
   a boy who was wrong in the 
most important ways
   though I still took him
  for a very small one
an overbearing thirst that I used
   to make excuses
a doubt about a simple thing
   that crippled me

I leave them behind
  with the debris
Of a educated past
