The day you came into my life
I forgot the tongue hours spoke.
I could not remember
the words in the cardboard.
What was time before you,
before us?
Still fragile as the doubts
hanging in your curly hair,
I walk forward.
I walk through my memories.
I used to carry you everywhere
in my clumsy hands,
like a stamp collection.
As the ordinary days came along,
everything was different,
You were ever-present eternity.
Here now,
my crestfallen eyes long a chance
to have that shared kiss
one more time.
I still keep you warm,
up my fireplace,
the dust never bothered me,
but I feel
I lost myself
as a human.
I am semi-ruined
as a lonely half ought to be.
What comforts me is that
our future is written on the stones.
We are not broken,
not yet.
