There are forgotten words hanging over my chest Dangling like freshly shattered glass spread across a navy quilted glass Glittering in the sunny heavens as they fall and spray painful reminders Of the past into the still air Heavy hanging fruits of our labours so long ago A sigh A touch A vague impression of your body pressed into mine from those days we spent Sometimes the words fall Impaling my heart and my eyes fill Unbidden With happy tears, or liquid anger clouding memories of golden laughter
