So Very Easy...(a fairly sad poem-em-an-em)

It’s easy to stop loving you
I’ve got it all down to an art and I count it out, step by step
Until I don’t love you anymore.

Step One: I forget the time you smiled at me.
Step Two: I forget how the way you moved entranced me.
Step Three: I forget that voice of yours.
Step Four: I forget the shows, the crowds, the time you saved my life.
Step Five: I let my heart break one last time for all the Could-have-beens and Should-have-beens and how I never really tried to tell you.
Step Six: I feel the fear one last time of not understanding what I was feeling and not knowing why I trusted you so completely without knowing you.
Step Seven: I pray that you and her will always be happy together.
Step Eight: I get out the staples to fix my ripped up heart.
Step Nine: I cry a little because it feels nice.
Step Ten: I lie to my friends and say that I don't care.
