I can erase your name
From a white sheet of paper
And never have to read it again-

But can I erase your face
From the crevices of my brain,
So I never have to see you again?

The answer to the question
Is no.

These scruffy marks and
little ***** of soft pink rubber
Tend to ease my mind at 2am at night

Because one day maybe your face
Will disappear from my mind
Like the lost words-on this sheet of paper.
