How empty it feels to be removed from existance,
Like a mispelled word or gramatically incorrect sentence.Erased entirely, the leavings swept off the page,
Your keyboard a tool used to vent your rage.Backspace, cancel, delete, hit escape,
The fragile heart offered so cruely raped.Deleted from your life like a scribble with a pen,
Never to acknowledge me ever again.With a flip of a switch, you turned out the light,
Oh the power to forget and not lay awake dying at night.

Years ago after I had put my 8-year old son and 5-year old daughter to bed my wife told me I had been deleted. My life vanished like that. Well, almost. It came back but there are trace images of that pain on my hard drive.
You have a delete button, too Gracie.

I can remember that feeling, it was like being the man that never was. Gracie, I'm sorry you're feeling that same hurt because it's truly awful.
But you see, he can't erase you no matter how hard he tries. Because you exist in multiple concurrent realities. He can't wipe out who you are and what you mean to Toph, or me, or Suze, or Sunny, or Cockeyed, or ClearSkies or any other babbler you've ever interacted with. He can't delete that part of you that exists within your kids and your friends. He can't erase the memories of the people you worked with and for or your clients.
And no matter what he says and does he can't take away the fact that you loved him despite everything. That was the hardest thing when M deleted me - the fact that I wanted to hate her so bad but just couldn't. Not sure that that didn't just make me hurt more.
I think Toph was right about you having a delete key of your own, but I also know from my own situation how hard some choices are. I think I kind of practice partitioning. I try not to carry 'it' beyond the front door, or beyond her company.
You'll always exist forand within us Gracie.

yeah, sorry, but you'll never be erased from my thoughts...
You just have to deal with the fact that there are a lot of us who love you.
I think Damos has it- try to work on deleting him from your thoughts when you actually aren't in his company...
kisses,
