slide into blue silk water
candles flicker on glistening skin
soft jazz and creamy bubbles
create a comforting embrace
a chilled wine kiss on slick, steamy lips
kissess away the memory of our goodbye
All to forget you.
Nights on the couch to
avoid a half emtpy bed
choose between movies and dinners for one
or meaningless rebound company
erase each trace
each letter
mutual friend and
photo of your face
All to forget us.
Avoid my life and the
concerned queries of friends
blow out the candle that
burned only for you in my heart
lose myself in the comfort of darkness
where my eyes are blind to
the loneliness you left me
lost in darkness
All to forget me.
