Forget Me.
Forget the way that I cried
Hot sodium chloride that burnt dry your skin and stained your cheek
Forget me. Forget me and
Forget the smallness of my hand when I grabbed at your wrist
At the onslaught of the cars that threatened your path, and heaved from my lungs cold sharp relief
Forget me
Forget the warmth of my shape in your sheets while I slept
And you kissed my forehead, ripe with exhaustion and praised my mouth
Forget me
Forget that I loved you, forget my face, forget my flaws, forget me forget me forget me
So I can move on without the shame of my shadow flickering on
In your neocortex
