i'll burn your letters 
and break the ceramics 
because it's not worth it 
anymore. 

i'm emptying the cardboard box 
full of your drawings 
they don't mean anything 
anymore. 

i'm deleting your messages 
so lovingly spoken 
they'll never be uttered 
anymore. 

i promise to stop writing 
and drawing you pictures 
that won't be responded to 
anymore. 

i'll stop pursuing 
i promise to stop caring 
because it's not worth it 
anymore. 

please know i tried my best 
to kill all hope 
but i thought you were worth it 
not anymore.
