The strength it takes

The strength it takes
to wash your mind
of the few smiles he created
from truth
to sever the ties
to cut the cord
that runs to your memory
like a life line
to force your body
to disconnect
to avoid the eyes
that trace knowing
shapes
over your skin
to find the road back
to sanity
and reality
when it burns your determined
feet
as you run for the light
