there are times in which i just want to disappear
and forget about you.
start a different life,
move on and
forget your touch,
your breath, your fuck.
forget the beautiful shape of your hands
and how your fingerprints feel on my
sympathetic nervous system-reactive skin.
forget the way your laughs leave your lips
and everything else that has left them in the past.

but the feeling of being without you
is one i will never forget.
and the thought of being without you
is one that tears me to shreds.

wont turn off my brain
wont shut my eyes
wont rest.
though i haven't much as of late.

i keep seeing the same face everywhere
similar features, it's like i am haunted.
a mouth that droops open
eyes that cinch.

where is my lion-eyed beauty?
slipping away, water on saran wrap
at least it feels.
