Still, You Are Here

When they ask about you,


I will tell them


You are a page I scratched out in pen


Then tried to erase


My tears wet the ink


And now you are stained onto my hands


Sometimes I forget you are there


And I ruin a pair of jeans


By wiping my palms on them


They tell me to try soap and hot water


But they don't realize that I have tried


I have tried everything


But still, you are here.
