Memory Fiction

We were reaching out towards
The next phase of ourselves
Autonomous from what connected us

I couldn’t face the shame
This won’t be the last time that I find
I couldn’t place the blame
Lessons that I find in love that we left behind

Palm against palm, numbed by polarity
Revelations in love and in the space of its scarcity
On the day I decided to leave, felt like an impostor in someone else’s destiny
Now I feel free, in love that we left behind

Our origins grow hazy, who am I kidding
I can’t recall what I felt in the beginning
My life is my story is my jurisdiction
And I’m allowed to grieve you in my memory fiction

Love that we left behind

I couldn’t face the shame
This won’t be the last time that I find
I couldn’t place the blame
Lessons that I find in love that we left behind
