though i sometimes forget you

in the dead of night
your reflection beats on me

and each and all thoughts
that fill my heart with dread

are memories carved in me
with you
Catherine Queen May 2013
my name means more than these won't-look-past-your-shell and
he's-the-king-of-make-believe, and i'm a hypocrite for allowing
to slip my own touch of forget-me-not

love, you're more than hurt; you're dying
Catherine Queen May 2013
i'm your work-in-progress, move-me-gently sort of go-to person
and i burn my tongue with hardly-bitter sweet coffee, as a reminder
that things last, and pride will scar your bones
Catherine Queen May 2013
I wish I knew love as well as you know me, in your simple way of making my cheeks turn
red like the autumn blush staining the leaves of my homeland trees
