do you remember?
how easy it is to lose ourselves in others.
it's beautiful isn't it?
to allow someone to hold a piece of us.
it seems I gave myself to you so easily and freely
like a snowflake landing on your tongue,
completely absorbed by you.
you once held me in your palm
but you let me slip through the cracks in your grip
slowly at first, then all at once.
don't let me fall.
don't let me fall.
with your leaving you took everything but my memories.
but I will hold on to them
and I will not let them fall like you have let me fall.
because they are all that I have left.
the pain serving as a reminder of the blazing love that we once shared.
and how it shined.
do you remember how bright we once were?
do you remember?
or are these memories just mine now?
I want you to know that even after everything,
I will hold you
until my muscles ache
and my limbs grow tired.
until my heart can't bear it.
until my mind collapses into itself.
I will hold you until you decide to come back and hold me too.
until you come back and burn up what's left of me from the inside out
and I'm nothing but ashes at your feet.
will you hold my dust in your palm when you've finished your obliteration?
