Loud Memories
I remember
smiling at you,
back when our skin
was inseparable.
And when it’s late
and I can’t sleep
it’s cause I can feel
your need for me.
Would you believe
just yesterday,
I picked up my phone
and scrolled to your name?
As I dialed,
my heart smiled,
but hearing the disconnected tone
reminded me I’m all alone.
I remember
kisses from you,
but now to see your face,
I have to look at the moon.
I can’t sleep in silence
cause I feel your death.
I need lights on and some music
and it’s almost like you’re not gone yet.
I still remember wearing your scent,
back when your body
was all I’d wear.
I still remember the tug
of your fingers in my hair.
I can still remember my name
in my ear and your lips so close,
they’d gently touch my earlobe.
I can remember a vow
to not let you go.
How was it alright for you to leave,
if I didn’t agree not to see you anymore?
I still remember the crash.
I remember the ambulance.
I remember you coughing when you’d breathe.
I remember watching your head bleed.
I remember the words
“dead on the scene”
I remember when you believed in angels
cause you thought
you were invincible.
Yea, I still remember everything.
