i cannot remind
myself
not to remember you
i wanted to break my skin open
and let you into my blood
lately i
wanted to take you out on the town
but i have forgotten your name
.
.
.
.
darling take your sticks
out of your back pocket
and kiss me
darling take your mind
off of whatever it is
and hold me closer
darling i have
forgotten who you are
or if you ever existed
.
.
.
.
i'm reminding you now
to keep it close
let it linger in your mind
i am not just saying hello
because i have no one else
to talk to.
