His heartbeat was my lullaby But now I’m falling asleep to the silence Of the emptiness inside of my own chest

Empty
I wish I could go back to who I was before I knew him Before I knew how infectious his smile his Before I knew what my name sounded like in his voice Before I knew exactly what shade of brown his eyes are Before I knew how soft his hair felt in my hands Before I knew how perfectly his arms fit around my waist Before I knew the gentle touch of his fingertips running down my spine Before I knew all the songs he listens to when he’s alone Before I knew what his lips felt like against every inch of my body I wish I could unknow him Erase every trace of his existence from my memory But it’s no use It’s as if my brain created a special space dedicated to memorizing him And I’ll inject myself with whatever poison it takes to bring me to amnesia
