Pieces of paper.

I wrote it down in great detail

the day you tore me down

the day you made me feel small

the day you tried to hurt me. 

and then I tore it up 

into small pieces 

and discarded your memory

and your carelessness 

and your thoughtlessness

I smiled as I saw the pieces 

of paper fall away from 

my finger tips, carelessly

drifting into the resting place

of yesterday.
