Homeless
I can’t remember what your voice sounds like.
I remember what it felt like to care about you.
I can’t remember what your touch feels like.
I remember what it was like to fight with you.
I can’t remember the last time we looked into each other’s eyes.
I remember what it was like to smile and cry for you.
When did all this happen? Yesterday? A month ago? A year ago?
You used to be my home. I was evicted a long time ago. Or did I move out? Both.
I was homeless for a while, exposed to the elements.
I’ve found shelter but I do not want to find a new home. Not yet.
I can’t remember you. I remember what it was like to know you.
Maybe I never truly knew you.
