the pain has left me
the memories have disappeared
all of what I have known of you is gone
only when my mind's overwhelmed by
too much whiskey and not enough water
do I think of you
at these times I feel,(like the ice melting away in the glass)
that I'm losing all the reasons
as I pound my knuckles against the
walls of the subway platform
again and again
I search for the reasons,(clinking against the edges of my soul)
My eyes, red from crying, close to sleep
and exhaustion
opening only for the change in trains
the stations speed past
by the time I'm home
the haze has started to clear
my mind, once again, has no memory
yet these bruises on my hands and arms
tell a different story
one whose ending is gone
and all the chapters
are repeating
themselves
Reason for writing:
I thought I was in love
I was wrong
My writing may heal my heart,
or better prepare me for rejection.
