Your number

By Richard J Sereday Jr

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I thought I should erase your number from my phone, to help get you off my mind, but I couldn't find the strength to fool myself and hit that button, for all the good it would have done. Yes, it's true, it would have been easy to remove your number from my phone, but your memory from my heart, I dare not fool myself into thinking would be so easy to forget. I've just grown so weary of the chase, and have finally given up on this dream. For I have nary the strength to dream the dream and have lost sight of it altogether. I did want so, to get near to you, but it wasn't to be, you said. and try as I might I just couldn't seem to find my way into your life. I can hold my breath on longer and must break free of the spell you hold on me, to find my self again, alone as I may be. Written August 8th, 2001 © on Dec 08 2001 03:13 AM PST   0 • 10
