things just aren't the same as they used to be
memories faded like old faces of new-found love
kisses              
once blown to the wind
now tucked behind secret doors
mind hidden
dark addictions
lurking eyes in concrete jungle
preying on out
of                          
body  
heartbeats        
our laughter still echoes through my veins
linking us eternal
through time:
we transcend a life line
forged in summer heat
hardened in cold winter
gifted flashbacks
reminiscent smiles
exchanged expressions of forever
I am constanly reminded
by the carvings on my flesh
the notches on my belt
of the days we spent in hibernation
entwined in limp-willed dreams

*I will forever be forgetting you
