The Memory Eraser

The Memory Eraser

A Poem by Gustan Joseph

I’m trying to unwrap my mind from around you.
Can’t seem to catch a brake,
well I’ve got nothing else to lose.
You put me down than you push me down,
where I’ll fall slowly and won’t make a sound.
I’ve slipped into a wormhole.
I’d sew my eyes shout just so I wouldn’t have to see you.
Brake to a silent-deaf my ears,
I want to ignore everything you do.
Rewrite static into where we’d met,
and I’d rewind back and press delete.
Like eating an eraser.
I’ll remove all our conversations from my brain,
while writing them all down backwards
I’ll store them neatly into a custom frame.
Then I’ll bury it at the bottom of the sea,
somewhere in the Caribbean far away from me.
Every memory of you lost for eternity.

Really nice piece of literature here. I just love the concept. You did a great job creatively conveying your detest and wish for eradication of this someone's history within you. As I read it, it made me think of a person or two in my life that I had once felt these feelings for. Good write poet.

This makes me think of a few things
-A last letter to someone once loved,
a way to move on and a form of closure.
-Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, in a few spots.

Anyway, I thought it was wonderful.

About
Gustan Joseph. I like writing poetry. It's become a clever way to document the things that I go through in life. But for the most part I'm a no body, but I like to think I'm a nice person. But you kn.. more..
