Keep Going Poem by Javier Alonso

(2.51 am)

Keep going.
You're on a roll.
Let this one go?
Nope.
I'm past that.
You know that point
where you just smile
as you take it all in?
I'm right there.
I'm right where
I've been so lucky to be.
See?
I don't even have to hurt you.
You're doing it for me.
Keep crying.
I'll just stand here smiling.
Remembering all the mistakes
you've made.
The same ones
I tried to forgive.
You remember right?
That time you lost the fight
by wanting someone
who simply wants you
to have your heart broken in two.
I'll just stand here smiling.
