'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.
