your tethered past
lingers and surfaces on days it chooses to
and i'm left guessing which mood will greet me in the
morning
i'll always live in your last love's shadow

wrap my arms around you and miss you
as if i've the right to
well, now we do
and we allow it

such a heavy love
at times, i choke
on the shape
of forgetting you

i do love dat *****
it is so very fine
i want to eat that *****
and make it mine
