I wrapped my hands up in your hair to feel the pulse - your heat, your beat. I reach again feel naught but air: the essence of a love, retreat.
Often do I venture back, roam into an abandoned past. Dis-embalm these memories true, packed on ice yet damp with dew.
Cat treads heavy the surface of heart, imprints indenting, g, d n e i s d c n e e n c d s i a n g, scarring my thoughts, my rhythm, my whole. Shifting my sacrum, sheathing my soul.
Doggedly I trail behind with a twisted eraser just "try the eraser" you said with a smirk. But still I reach and I reach and I reach rapt in your attentions as a wave to a beach.
There is a grain of sand in my eye that can't be washed away. Salt, fresh, spring they all caught her. But I've tried every type of water.
Still you persist, a rotting orange's mist.
I allowed you to come; I also let you leave. I remember with crude clarity what happened in between.
Go, my love you let. Go, your love I let. The only question now I have: Why then can't I forget?
