Learning to Unlove You

You will take a little time
But now I’ve got forever that’s OK
To take you off the books
Untangle all the hooks
I’m looking forward to it in a way
Getting to forget you will be like tearing down
The palace of your image in my mind
Take one last look around
And burn it to the ground
Unloving you will take a little time
To treat you like a fever, like my known enemy
To be a nonbeliever in my own memory
I come down every morning no more than half awake
A headful of ideas in my mind
A belly full of lead
And strangers in my bed
Unloving you will take a little time, oh really / my darling
Unloving you will take a little time.
