Remembering is easy
I can still see your face
I can still hear your voice
I can feel your hair between my fingers
The hard part comes next,
the knowing
the finality of understanding
these memories are all we'll ever have
When I so desperately need
to be reminded of
the way you frown
and click.
I remember everything
and that makes it hardest
when I look back and see
the way that I poisoned you.

Remembering is easy
I can still see your face
I can still hear your voice
I can feel your hair between my fingers
The hard part comes next,
the knowing
the finality of understanding
these memories are all we'll ever have
When I so desperately need
to be reminded of
the way you frown
and click.
I remember everything
and that makes it hardest
when I look back and see
the way that I poisoned you.
Regret is a really sharp word.
