Erase
How could I have missed it for so long
Living an Ozzie and Harriet scripted life
Unable to see the reality
Long missing forgetting ignoring overlooking
How can someone erase memories
Make just a bunch of washed out snapshots
Alcohol is good at disinfecting things
It can clean a surface or erase memories
She left me those snaps shots
No usable video
How many things were wiped clean? Sanitized
Sterilized to black and white no color
I don't know, so much has been overwritten
Stumbling in the dark with a small candle
Only now seeing touched up photos
Why have these past memories been blotched
Were those formative years sanitized?
Only to be revealed at the end
Still bitter about the ending ones
