Erase Me

Words to color the feeling of being erased from someone's life.

I'll be erased
a number from a phone
a log of poems
all emotion
Erased.
Decapitate the memories,
pretend the happiness
wasn't me.
Change things so that
maybe....
time can heal us both.
Erased like the faded
end of a photo.
The part that was burnt away
with time.
Erased like an afterthought
too painful to explain.
I've been erased
and every
part
of
me
will cry.
I've been erased
and every
tear
will
be
from my eye.
I've seen his face
and every
moment
wants
to
die.
I've felt disgrace
and every
star
seems
too
high.

If only things
were different.
If only they
were the same.
Where's the moment
you turned sour?
Where's the line
where I sign my name?
I am to blame.
My heart, now tame,
breathes deep
and tries again.
