i will let you down

i could give up so easily on you, i could lose the moment forget to breathe. the world would shudder under the covers thick with fog to dampen the fire. i could remember…again, the chill that thaws from flesh, lonely in its embrace, reaching to this pen as it reminds me of you. a ghost in the darkness where the past clings to the fiberoptics of light. the bubbles swirl in their tube, hot, warmer still, awaiting the cyclone that pursues. strike the paper rhythm, rhyme, meandering thoughts driven by feelings which lay in skin, lie in skin, die with skin. i could give up so easily on me, i could seize the moment remember what it’s like to be. the tremble collapses our foundations, faithful as they were, the memory ceased to be. i could forget…remember again. words tainted with thought, spoken between the sheets of refined disdain. how much is my 2 cents worth, one night of hope exchanged for tenfold lost within the midnight hours. i could hold on to thoughts that pretend there ever was a real you, i could face the dagger as it cuts in. i am the world without you. i could forget the steel inside of skin as the hand holds true. one more request … i’m quick to ensue. i could give up so easily on you, i could lose the world forgetting of you if i could only remember the person embracing this pen as someone who is real
