Escape

I wish I could run away from you,
like you ran away from me:
Erase you from my memory,
deny that you exist.

I wish I could no longer see
you looking right at me,
love glowing in your eyes
warming my face and my heart.

I wish I could leave behind
my body remembering your touch,
my senses recollecting
the scent and silkiness of your skin.

I wish I could leave for a place
where your being does not run through my veins,
and the threads sending your thoughts to me
ceased to exist.

I wish I could sleep
without you frequenting my dreams,
with no memories of the peace I feel
when you are embracing me.

Your presence in my home;
Your existence in me;
Your company which everywhere follows; 
I wish   I   could   just   leave.

I wish I could just forget you,
like you have forgotten me:
Erased me from your memory,
denied that I exist.

Eterne
