we can't erase what is already on a canvas
but we can always paint over it
it seems as though someone is passing around info about me getting in trouble with the law over seven years ago. i am not proud of it, but i own my actions. i paid my debt by serving six months in jail, as well as taking a good beating for it. the past paints the future, and experiences change our lives. i am a different person now, and i can't dwell on the past. if others want to, that's fine.

its gonna make sense
and
i am just here
turning words
into
fantasy
while
you are there
creating dreams
with your
reality

i thought that you will save me from this fantasy

the sound of your voice
reminds me of an ice cube
cracking against water's touch
maybe it's because
your soul is frozen
and your words are cold

We
could
have
been a
royal flush,
but
you

I can't touch the past
But I let the past touch me
Yasmine Sep 2015
I trace places you used to touch
Looking for echoes of your fingertips

I light candles where you used to stand
Trying to recreate the warmth you exuded

I wrap your sweaters around my body
Mimicking the sensation of your arms around me

I listen to the clinks of wine glasses
Pretending we're back on our first date

I stare at your lips in your pictures
Wishing I had kissed you longer

I thought losing you would get easier
But I miss you more every minute

I've been split open
Sewn up and made new
But even the finest surgeon
Couldn't get rid of you
and all the pain you left behind

I think I had a few repressed memories and lately, they've been flooding back.
