tell me

a mind’s eye
captures sight and
color and my mouth
remembers tastes like
the salt of your sweat and
my nose remembers
the smell of your hair
and my hands on your
soft bare flesh before me
where we used to share
ourselves and connect as
whole and remember how
it was to be so alive and
enthralled in one another

tell me
if you remember nights
in each other’s arms and
how i taste and how the
laughing and sweetness
stand so prominently
if you could
would you erase it all
would you condemn me
to lost history, would you
have it in your heart to
reconnect and re-establish
i don’t think

please
there’s no way to come back
from disaster
but i beg you
i beg you be kind in memories
be kind to me in your dreams
and don’t forget what we had
