You Remember Me?

Requiring the visceral

But it wasn’t enough to keep me.

Running as fast as I could from the war

Falling on my knees in front of the one

That didn’t want me.

Partially keeping me aware of the progress

As we advance on the enemy

From the direction they will never expect.

Scenes play out in my head

Of the one that I wanted so desperately

That left me alone in a fortress I hated.

He doesn’t understand love

Too basic for all of that “feeling” stuff.

Every time I hear from him now

My first thought

Is “you remember me?”
