fading voices [ the SEQUEL to little talks ]

[ 20 ]

blantant memory is my current partner.

you didn't leave
and neither did i.
our paths just sort of 
split off before we could
realize what
was happening.

but i loved you. 

past tense 
behind us
like a ghost 
i keep on the 
back of my hand;
i reach out for you while i sleep
and there it is - transparent and screaming.
