i could see a future without you
but it’s truly grim
full of sleepless nights
hopeless mornings
and swollen memories
in this haunted future
that i pray i never see
you think for a second or two
about me
about the smudge in your memory
my darling
if you even remember my name
you’ll never speak it aloud
for we ended not as one of those things
one wants to talk about
the dream we once dreamt
of a home by the sea
sunny porches and iced tea
lost in the grey blue waves
of our forgotten responsibility
i sleep alone even if another
lays by my side
their hands between my thighs
their lips will be yours in my dreams
for i will always be yours
