Day 147: Forgotten
what i really want to say is:
i can’t remember
i can’t remember what it was like to feel safe
i can’t remember what it was like to know the future
i can’t remember what it was like to look at something i made and say
it’s enough
i can’t remember what it’s like to feel weightless in love
or weightless in me
i can’t remember what it feels like
to know you’ve got me
i can’t remember air without gravity
i can’t remember rain on me
it’s always safely kept behind glass –
or am i the one kept behind glass?
i can’t remember
courage
i can’t remember
what i did wrong
what i did right
what i wanted to have done
right or wrong
anyway
but i saw a flash
like reflected light
and then i knew
briefly
that everything i can’t recall
once
was
and still is
somewhere
in a heart
whose mind
has simply forgot
how to let it be.
