What It Takes

It only takes one message

Of ten words

To cut the cord.

It only takes one message

Of three sentences

For him to leave.

Ten syllables

For the idea of a future

To slip away.

One line

For you and him to end.

One night

When all the memories

Rise and swirl around

Your brain like

Dead leaves in the wind.

It only takes two words

To heal.

I’m done.
