“you wrapped me in promises
soft as silk and i surrendered
to the warmth of your touch
in your eyes i found a universe
where shadows danced
and light was born
but in the sweetness
i lost myself
a willing captive in your embrace
i gave you my heart like a key
but the lock was never mine to hold”

“i try to erase you
like ink spilled on my skin
but you have stained me deeper than that
i scrub at the edges of my mind
where you linger like shadows in the corners

but it grows roots in my chest
blooms in every breath i take
i wish i could unlove you
like tearing pages from a book
but you are every word etched in my soul
and now i understand
forgetting you would mean forgetting myself
and that’s a wound i cannot heal”
