why can i not erase
the memory of you that fogs up my mind?
freezing early morning hours
drawing on frosted windows
inhaling each other's breaths
repetitive songs
nuzzling you against my chest
mindless chatter to feel complete
adrenaline rush when i see headlights
the cold walk to my destruction
were we ever wrong?
i lied when i said
i no longer loved you.
i merely
ran out of strength
to do so
