if only it were so simple to forget you,
denying doesn't seem to erase my mind
from that which haunts so deeply,
images of you still flood my dreams
and I hold my breath against drowning thoughts,
visions rise behind closed eyes
submerging me deeper into lonely waters,
I wake, gasping for your touch
reaching across that distant shore,
with arms longing to hold you
as we sail into...
always.
