Dead For A Decade.

Some things were meant to be said and lost.


What of what was meant to be lost

              but was remembered.

A wish to erase your filthy sin

from this place

                              in my mind.


A tin full of Christmas.

   your first words to me on paper.

-A happy birthday wish.


                         A word I do remember,

and in the other vein

     I inject the fear and fatigue

     of what was meant to be forgotten.


Wasted energy

                   Jello thick air,

          and without a care-

- I read what was said

     and meant to be forgotten.


Darling, you are not rotten.


We were young,

our heads clearly full of cotton.


Hush those words which will never be forgotten.

 

While I wish I could erase your filthy sin 

                  from this place in my mind.

          

       I'd rather move on,

     leave the tin of untold truth behind,

               because we are not the kind

                           who wake sleeping dogs
