A Remembrance
I remember
I remember the way you held me.
And your intoxicating smell.
I remember the way you kissed me.
And the voice that came from your mouth.
I remember the times of silence
When we sat, hand in hand.
I remember the first time
That time you said you loved me.
But I also remember the chaos.
The tears I shed over you.
I remember the time you touched me
And I told you not to.
I remember your hand on my throat
Gripping so I could barely breathe.
I remember the panic
The panic that was in me.
I remember the way you “loved” me.
The good and the bad too.
I remember the promise I made
I will never forget the pain
And I will never go back to you.
