dominos (Free verse) by sarah
there you went right out of my world
leaving me to wallow in your memory
when will you stop haunting me?
i decided to give up thoughts of you for lent
funny that i'd deprive myself of my very own therapy
thing is, i just wanted to leave it all be.
unfortunately your memory won't leave me be
knocking on a door that i tried to lock deep in the recesses of my most
painful memories
i placed your joy in there too
maybe that's the part that's knocking
maybe it deserves a different compartment
except i don't know how to do that
i wonder if it's even possible
your painful recollections are irrevocably tied to the joyful times
the one leads me directly into the other
like dominos
yes dominos of memory doors are shaky in my head
the moments come where all are knocking - when i look at our old bed
i can't help but think of you
i'll burn the mattress is what i'll do
yes
that'll do.
physical objects of used to be ours
instigate the touching of one domino
then everything else follows.
