Memoir
Like the sawdust from your eyes
Slowly fading into lust
Hyphens of the past I remember
It was momentary but I could never forget
The tender torch in my core
Ignoring it while I daydream of a better world.
This is not a story of trust
Even though we wish it happened to be.
Sitting lone exasperated, leaning on a cold glass, filter of the past
Notes I cherished but left once I changed spirit
Injustice of the lands, my sea plummets on my brows.
False remarks of affection
Not proven or shown, only said
Said in a lost garden, short access to your heart
I read it all
I will never lose this memory.
Limited by the units of expression
Crumbling are the ways I used to bring vitality.
Gateway to my soul. I saw a silhouette.
There was only myself, and somebody else.
I could not discern their intention.
Was I a higher manifestation?
Eternally shunned because of integrity
Is this why my lifehood was preoccupied;
Understanding others but not ourselves
A lost perception of a sun
Aching for delivery, I patiently sit on wood.
My house cannot contain any more words,
I lay back and hope she comes by again.
Plunging into the liquid I remember.
Who I truly once was and never am.
