i will be with you
in it
soon after
for the first time
when our paths
lead to
how right we are
on our wood path
to us

it moves through…
you don’t know what
will be
if you give up
on that fire that relies upon
nothing beyond itself for
strength.

hear me
as if you feel
who i am…
as if you’re about
to melt
but don’t know how
as if you are the only person
who i’m speaking
to now
as if these words
mean something
maybe the world
to you
as if i’ll know
your heart is
beating faster
as if
your wish
just came true

what is it
to forget?
a distant dream
gone by
known by only
a whisp
an ache that pulls
its way back
keeps trying
but cannot stick
or is it
a wish to
know nothing
feel nothing
be nothing
so that the pressure
to be more
absolves
even though
it forgets
it remembers still
i remember
