How Do You? Poem by latoya trent

How do you tell someone
you love them
when they don't love you?
How do you stop remembering
someone
when your mind won't
let you forget them?
How do you stop crying
when the tears keep falling?
How do you take
a step foward
if the only place you
end up going is backwards?
How do you get
someone back
if they don't want to come?
How do you quit thinking
about someone
even when you know
that they have stopped
thinking about you?
and how do you tell yourself
to move on
when your heart isn't
ready to?
