[455] Resurrection of Past Love

𝘔𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘪⁣⁣
I’ll be quiet in hellish silence⁣⁣
Whispers of chaos touch my skin⁣⁣
I’ll be waiting in September ⁣⁣
remembering my fading memories of you⁣⁣
Do you quiver in your fever dreams?⁣⁣
Do you still remember the fear of our end?⁣⁣
Or am I the only one ⁣⁣
living a dreamless dream⁣⁣
of forgetting I am awake⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I file away our images ⁣⁣
in the cavity of my brain⁣⁣
The membranes turn soggy⁣⁣
amidst our rotten veneer⁣⁣
Your voice peels off all ⁣⁣
the layers of my defence⁣⁣
My appearance is a cry for help⁣⁣
but you meet me in September and say⁣⁣
my mementoes helped you persevere⁣⁣
to not give in to a slow sleep of hell⁣⁣
and you ease me back to a hopeful life⁣⁣
𝘔𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘝𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘦
