Forgetful Things

I had a nice twitter rant. Inspired by my friend Tanya.

Oh! Follow me? Only if you're gonna speak!

Anywho. These are things I shouldn't forget.



Dear Morning,
Make me forget the chase.
Remind me that these knees are too weary from praying
And track ain't my strong point.



Dear Sun, you were there with me...
Skin often lies but your light doesn't.




When you're waiting for his call
Remember his arms.
How they squeezed the breath into you.
You're still breathing. That's important.



When you feel those eyes watching you...
Turn your back on them.
Maybes always win staring contests.
We too grown for maybes.




When the guilt grapples your tongue
Remember the fire. How unreliable it is.
The only thing promised is ice in the artic
And ashes for dinner.




Shit, even ice melts.
Burn the memories. Then blow them away.
This ain't a funeral.
Mourn nothing.




When you're waiting for his smile
Remember the clutter.
You'll get lost there
With no one to "save" you but the rats.
Leave.




If you're still waiting for the prick of his fingers
Tell your lower back to keep quiet.
It don't know ache like your heart do.
It can't heal...




Remember his mouth.
The skepticism.
You never really knew where his has been...
Did it make you forget where you were?




Get used to the quiet.
It's always been there.
Nothing loves you like silence does.

  1. I love this piece. The writing is unique, beautiful, truthful, yet stabbing to the one who brought pain.
    *peace*
