Love is Your Only Way Back

I don’t know where you are

Or what you look like anymore

I never know what you are doing

And I can no longer recognize your scent

And your taste has been wiped from my memory.

I try, to picture you

I try, to see you in my mind

I search for you in my dreams

But your gone.

You’ve changed.

Somewhere along the way

I asked for a map

So I wouldn’t lose you in the fog

But naturally you didn’t respond.

You whispered,

let’s never speak of this

into my tears.

Your touch used to leave memories

on my skin.

My mouth used to have you

in its song.

I used to recognize your foot steps

in the sand.

But now

I can’t think of anything

Except…good job
