Of course I still remember. Don’t - Don’t start on that thread, unraveling every word and stop the colours spreading. I don’t want to think, End up like you, sinking too quickly beneath waves my every movement sends crashing Against the shores. I let them reach heights to tower over your own As if no prove - No, not insignificant. Nothing less than. I haven’t ******* forgotten, can you please remember that? You’ve tied yourself too tightly to your words - and their’s and this is not like you have always dreamed. Lost - myself. The wind is calling. And that woman stands dangerously close and she could/I could. Jump: Right over and away, twist for show and gaze upon horrified faces. Terror at what is me, leaving what is not and what you are trying to keep. But I have not forgotten I have not- Me- This me- Not who you reach towards not you not us not maybe. I cannot forget what is not there and so- Remember

Reads better when spoken aloud but still some extent of impact written down
