Memories ...

"I blocked my mind to you,

Stemmed the trembles of fear you induced in me,

I shook off the emotions you brought out,

I gave way to tears and then a wan smile,

I breathed in the memories,

And breathed them out again,

Through the mist of my breath,

I see them leave,

As I sit, in the comfort of my home,

Sunlight streaming in through the windows,

Wafting through wisps of white curtains,

As I sit and watch through eyes, a golden brown that you once adored, which you worshipped for their ability to read your soul, you said,

That made you lose yourself in them, you said,

I raised my hands, Palm to Palm in prayer, closed my eyes, bent my head in reverence to the benevolent Sun,

Said a prayer, both for you and her, and the her who was arriving,

I sat in silence, listening to the sweet, mellifluous tones of the neighbouring guard's flute,

I released you, who was captive in my mind,

Or was is it you who held my mind and heart captive?

Or I, through my imploring heart, was keeping but a shadow of a memory alive as an illusion of captivity?

All that didn't matter anymore,

I wiped you out from all sources of data,

Then let you in again, to be a mere illusion,

Only to let you go again ... Since I lost you."
