i still find your face in every memory i wish i could erase the outline appears when i close my eyes a sudden flicker across the surface of thought like a hand pressed too hard against glass i walk through rooms that no longer exist yet you remain a shadow carved into the furniture a breath caught in the corners i try to scrape you out of the silence but the silence holds you tighter your expression stitched into the fabric of forgetting your absence louder than the sound of leaving i wanted to bury it all but the soil keeps turning itself over and there you are again uninvited unavoidable still burning through what should have vanished
