the space between

don't let go...
hold me
even long after you have gone
leave residue stains in memories
scratched across the backside of my heart
empty corridors still echo of heavy footsteps
closets full of bones
too much to close
for you will not claim your share
i carry the burden of two

the space between forever and never
will consistently bare witness
the space between now and then
will consistently bare witness
the space between you and i
will consistently bare witness

no freedom in reflections
that hold me through glances
sticky sweet clinging to tips of lashes
freefalling in pupils
causing blurry vision

we carry memories
the way we carry burdens
heavy and choking

let go
don't hold me
even long after you are here...
leave the memories stained in residue
and....(blow)
