Nothing Pending

Closure by removal rather than resolution. What isn't carried forward doesn't echo. What's been left behind doesn't ask to be recovered.

Lyrics

I clear what I can
Without trying to finish everything

And I don’t keep lists open
Once they’ve served their purpose

There are items I remove
Instead of resolving

And I don’t replace them
With something smaller

I don’t follow up
I don’t return

Nothing pending
Nothing waiting

I close what I started
When it stops being useful

And I don’t reopen it
To check how it might have ended

If something remains incomplete

It stays that way
Without becoming a problem
I need to solve

I don’t hold space
I don’t revisit

Nothing pending
Nothing waiting

There’s relief in not carrying
What doesn’t belong anymore

And I don’t confuse absence
With loss

What’s been removed
Doesn’t echo

And what’s been left behind
Doesn’t ask to be recovered

Nothing pending
Nothing waiting

I leave it clear
