B & D

as my memory of you

fades

it comes to me 

that my mind

is forgetting you 

my strength 

my voice 

you are gone 

but 

these things remain 

in me 

around me 

i reach for you 

trying to hold on 

to the ghost 

of your presence 

waiting 

watching 

your withdrawal

trying to stop forgetting you 

my memories of you 

bittersweet 

nonsensical and romantic

understandable 

but only in crisis

leaving me...
