how wounded is my psyche when all is set adrift? i think it true/it must be true; else it wouldn't exist how branded is my brain with smolder-marks of you? forever within me, you were like second skin to me yet distanced by emotions running too high to be quelled, dispelled, erased, removed or replaced... i can't bear to think too hard, my dear~ one drop of you would make it all crystal clear out my records, file cabinets in my head down(loaded) recollection lane of memory instead broken:solemn is my tongue as this fervor amasses and it hurts to touch these now-disjointed flashes but i touch them everyday, i touch them every, every... time only ends up twisting me far worse on the inside rate my heart at my heart rate's jump-sudden incline you were never mine (you never were) but you should have been (i wouldn't let you in) but i should have back then, i should have... listened to my heart and avoided this mess unwillingly was i supposed to suppress you these sensory memories are becoming affliction the musicolors of your voice hasten forth unrestricted eight years is too much time for us to have spent apart if you still have my letter, then you still have my heart
