Eraser

I held the eraser today
Held it up to my mind
Thinking of all those
Thoughts
I wish to
Forget

Time stood still
When i came to you
That smile
That could break
A thousand hearts

Memories of running
My fingers
Through your hair
My hand on your face
Your lips on mine

The eraser trembles
Because it fears
You
What you do to me
Did
Memories so strong
I can still taste you
On my lips

The first time I saw you
And my heart soared
Like an eagle
Tasting currents
With its wings
Trembling
In the breeze

Why do these memories
Haunt me so
Everywhere I see you
From so long ago
Eraser calls to me
Humming by my ear

It knows what pain can be
Felt it more times
Than I can imagine
But yet
You hold it steady in my hand
Your laughter
Rumbles in my soul
I quake inside

The eraser whispers
I can take it all away
All the hurt
All the pain
But these will go on
Even after you are gone
Pure unadulterated memories
Of what once was

I close my eyes
I see your face as if
it was yesterday
Your words of what
Could have been
What should have been
And then
Nothing

Clear my mind eraser
Wipe them away
Take this from me
I can no longer handle
This pain
Of not knowing
Of longing that
can never be fulfilled

The eraser holds steady
As it delivers it's sentence
Through my mind
My soul
I hit the floor

As your memories
Dissappear into the night
Finally freed from
the captivity of my
Mind
My prison of loss
