you flicker flowingly in and out of my mind
sprinkling glimpses of saccharine memories here and there
blowing wisps of confusion my way
leaving puddles of promises broken each day
murky waters lurk in the mess of my mind
stagnant and curdled at their nauseating edges
the dirt floated into designs on the surface
they were pictures of everything i still miss
i know i'm remembering it all wrong
each fact misconstrued into idyllic opinion
coated in honey and served like me- whipped
that's the only way that i can stomach it
otherwise, the frighteningly real feelings
don't go down my disbelieving throat
don't digest in my intestines so instead
i manifest myself in words left unsaid
amidst the tangle of emotions in this canopied jungle
if you were to climb through dark and marsh
you would find, recklessly and foolishly
i forgave you effortlessly
despite the fact that i melt in the heat
here i am, trying to be close to you
rubbing my dying hands again and again to try
to maybe, perhaps, keep your freezing body alive.
