Full Circle
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
