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
