Remember?
My hands lay
outstretched
Fingers apart
The spaces empty
I look up,up,up
Sky stretched taut
Clouds spattered upon it
I look sideways at the ground
Black hair past
my shoulders
A tear trickles down my cheek
I sit up startled
Why am I crying?
I shouldn't remember
Do you remember
when
you
used
to sit
by me
in the woods
staring at the sky
closing our eyes
hands together
No tears
and now
you aren't here
now the sky's
making me dizzy
I wanna puke
Tears coming faster
A flood on bare skin
beccause now you
are
gone
I sit up
run
run
run
Through the woods
Away from where
I remember everything
But I'm not supposed to
Don't want to
Wanna remember you and smile
No tears
Like you would've wanted
would've wanted me to be happy
sorry
Bend over
Heave this morning's cereal
sorry
I sob louder
sorry
Echoes through the trees
sorry
Gotta go
sorry
Can't remember without
a tear
sorry
sorry
I should move on shouldn't I?
Yes of course, but I can't
Some things
are
just
too
hard
