She's Not Me~

 

 

 

Shower her in my scent

run your fingers through her hair,
and wonder where your sigh went
when her fingertips find your face.

Dress her up in lace

tracing pink lips,
close your eyes when you kiss.

and remember me....

Author's Note

fragments of the past revisited...

It is interesting how some of the curses that we offer to others, take on a form such as this. We offer that subtle wish that in much of what the one that left us does, that they are reminded of us. Yet, how much of it is the wish for them to hurt like we do... and how much is simply that hope that we are not forgotten?

I think of my past nightmares of relationships, and I do not think I want them to hurt - I do not want them to remember... then I realize, it is mainly a case that I am hurting and that I am remembering, that I do not want that pain nor those memories.

Yes, it is indeed bittersweet - holding that potential twist of wishing both the hurt we feel and not to be forgotten... a painful read, as it brings so many memories into the spotlight.

Sorry for this but I have to say DAMN. Your poem drips with an eloquent, cut-throat style that blows me away because it is so subtle yet caustic. However, I feel your pain with this one. Sometimes the past does creep up on you, writing is a great release for it during those times for healing. Great work.

Oh me, oh my, but there is a certain heavy silence
hidden in the air of this piece.
OH ya, it's a lady scorned.

I hope he no longer holds any piece of your heart.
