Papercut Eyes

There is something
I still want
despite passing time

the only hope I have
this faint gleam
in tarnishing distance

worn album of memories
your blurred smile
on a face I cannot forget

the boy ran away
out of your arms
then into your arms

in a dream
that ends as jarringly
as I love you

go ahead lay in bed
smoldering, touching in ways
we no longer

wanting nothing
beyond intimacy
in shared darkness

each new effort
filled with inevitables
never matching up to the past

dilapidated book of my mind
your glinting beauty
searing me
