I'm Just Here To Remind You
by lauren white
You shifted your eyes to the west,
over my shoulder and far away.
A face as vacant as your promises
as you stepped towards me, awkward embrace.
I could feel you breath a sigh,
and I couldn't help but wonder: How did you get so far away?
Your fists clenched,
closed lips.
I keep running back, frantic pebbles on the window sill.
You’re tired apology, the snap of closing blinds.
My bones shake, violence I can't avoid.
I did this to myself.
I'll drive around your block,
watch the shadows dance in yellow light.
I know she's there,
the girl that lit the west with lust.
You tell me we're not through,
I know, we're far from done.
Our love on repeat like our favourite song.
I just don't see how I could forgive you.
You’ve slaughtered all my soul, bottled up my passion.
Hung my heart from a string, pulled up past my reach.
I swear, I'm so sick of this, intoxicated.
The liquor of your absence.
