I wish I could
Reach into your chest
Hold your heart
And breathe life
Into your skin
If only my tongue
Told stories with
Answers instead of
Questions
Maybe if I used the
Whispers hiding inside…
But they don’t want
To show themselves
Outside my skin.
I keep forgetting…
But I cannot
Remember
Sometimes I wish
So deeply that I forget
It’s a wish
And then I forget
It’s there at all
