Eradicating

I traced your name in vapor on a winter windowpane,

Watched it fade like secrets I was scared to say.

Every quiet promise turned to sighs across my breath.

Now the echoes fill the hollow parts of me.

Erase me,

the mark you never meant to keep.

Paint me over,

the stains stuck upon the wall,

Seal me away,

Seal the cracks too deep beneath.

Chisel me out,

I was never meant to be carved underneath..

I carved your silhouette in frost along the glass.

Watched it blur like moments never meant to last.

Every whispered “always” drifted into sleep.

Now the silence sings the ghosts I couldn’t keep.

Erase me,

the mark you never meant to keep.

Paint me over,

the stains stuck upon the wall,

Seal me away,

Seal the cracks too deep beneath.

Chisel me out,

I was never meant to be carved underneath.

If love was just a sculpture carved in borrowed time, Let the weather wear it down, let it unwind, Let the rain wash out the edges of this memory, Till I forget the sound of my own name.
