Permanent
How can I erase you from my book of memories?
When you’ve been engraved
On every page
Imprinted on every line
Carved along with every word
How can I delete you from my system?
When you’ve been saved
In every folder
Formatted by every font
Pasted with every pixel
How can I sift you from my body?
When you’ve settled in every limb
Cloned with every breath
Occupied every cell
Combined with every molecule
How can I separate you from me?
When you’ve been weaved
With every thread of my being
Plaited with every fibre
Laced with every strand
How can I?
