'Erase you?'
'Erase me.'
I take the pencil,
Hovering over every word,
Everything we've ever done.
Prepared to take the eraser
And do just as you say.
I start scrubbing away,
But God, it's like ink.
It won't go away.
I do this until my hand bleeds,
And my heart is empty of motivation.
Days upon days,
I try and try,
But when I pull away,
I still see everything.
Erase you?
You never told me to write in pencil,
So I wrote in pen.
