The only reason
That memories of
You still hurt
Is because I
Haven’t made any
New ones with
Him yet not
That I’ve met
Him either but
I know that
I will just
Like I know
That I will
Forget you then
Category: Affection
Thought
The hardest part
Of ending it
Is losing the
Certainty that you
Exist preciously in
Someone else’s thought
Without living there
Does one really
Live at all
I need to
Think that I
Occupy a space
Somewhere beyond myself
OneHitWonders (to bean)
In the story
Of us there’s
No happy ending
No happily ever-after
You and I
Are simply a
Fade to black
And roll credits
As our friends
Quietly shuffle away
Entertained and sad
By our non-ending
Ending wondering if
There might be
A sequel but
Both of us
Are already committed
To new projects
You and I
One hit wonders
TheyAlwaysDo
With each chat
Each new secret
I plant seeds
Of possibility that
I water with
Affection and interest
Compassion and kindness
Watching my field
Of acquaintances grow
Into a forest
Of friends amongst
Which I hide
When the world
Eventually frightens me
Because it does
And they do
They always do
Famished
Absent of now
My mind freely
Wanders memories hallways
Like a graduate
Returning to school
Peering through windowed
Doors and remembering
This and that
Removed by time
And fresh perspective
Like a cold
Kills the aroma
So do memories
Merely hint passions
Leaving you famished
