Exfoliation

Eidetic flashbacks of
Running away from her
Every attempt to slough
Her off of my skin
Like exfoliation

The closer we got
The further away I wanted to be

Is it detest?
J’ai détesté du la mémoire
Wanting love and finding
Darkness oblique
No warning
For direction

Where is it coming from
Can’t put it out

I fought to get away
It gave me strength
It made us both
Naked and courageous

Almost dying from the pain
Drinking to sustain
Because I was at war
There was so much more to gain

I do not run from myself
I do not fight to crawl
Out of my own skin

Give me peace or
Give me death
Pushed to the limit

Therein I found a passageway
A holiday to discover
How to fight for
The same things
For myself

When I was trying to get away from
What I was becoming with you

Flutter

I felt the flutter of its death
Inside my hand
And in that moment
I felt my heart beat
Faster than it ever had

How my empty breath flooded
Space around my lungs
Like the dam that let the rush
Of things undone

Untying all the strings
That kept you coming here
I witnessed waterfalls
Past me to the clear

It was there I missed
The everything of you
Found in the wind
That blew for one
No longer two

From the shadows
Of your smile
Upon your reflection
Pools the memory
For my every
Lost affection

Doorway

What happened
To the integrity
Of our memory
On shifting ground
On broken ice
Whatever was built
Whatever was found
Whatever advice
Whatever smelled nice
Has become
What my eyes wish to
Forget in a blink now to shut
Kiss goodbye
Eject the memory
Walking the tightrope
Of to whatever was before
You can show yourself
Out the doorway
Of my heart
