Hard enough to let you go
To quiet your whisper in my head
To drown out the echo of what was
but wasn't said
Hard enough to sleep each night
To dream about your kiss
Of angels dressed in red
Of spines and twisted sheets
Hard enough to wake alone
To slow my every breath
Racing heart and skipped heartbeats
Yearning throbs
And wet
Tears upon my cheeks
As I ache for ever rest
Hard enough to smile through pain
And give the world my best
And yet not as hard as what's to come
To think of you
Less and less
To slowly forget the sound of your voice
The taste of your tongue
And less
The way you kissed and stopped this life
For a moment
And less
Under covers laying against your chest
That smile that I swore was just for me
And less
Wind and snow and bluelit dawns
Puppets
And less
The love of you
The love of me
The us that never was
except within those moments
Of stars and fog and sun
Of laughs and chips
And cake batter lips
Less and less
Losing memories
Hard enough to remember
Hard more to let memory die peacefully.....

Hard enough to let you go
To quiet your whisper in my head
To drown out the echo of what was

Hard enough to sleep each night
To dream about your kiss
Of angels dressed in red
Of spines and twisted sheets
Hard enough to wake alone
To slow my every breath
Racing heart and skipped heartbeats
Yearning throbs
And wet
Tears upon my cheeks
As I ache for ever rest
Hard enough to smile through pain
And give the world my best
And yet not as hard as what's to come
To think of you
Less and less
To slowly forget the sound of your voice
The taste of your tongue

Under covers laying against your chest
That smile that I swore was just for me

The us that never was

Of stars and fog and sun
Of laughs and chips
And cake batter lips
Less and less
