ALL I KNOW IS


A light once possessed, this want, had a common thread, we begin

to unravel, left with lingered thoughts of you, once made me insane

deep, inside my veins, you, came like a drug to flow under my skin


when the conditions were right, comes a perfect storm, so multi-layered

my right to saver, you, an impression of, a deepest void, my failure to nigate
 
left only, a need, a fix, my heart was fire, steeped like a craving, not shared
 
as your memory differs from mine, you and I remember, in our own way to explain

the story of a love now having gone cold, left behind, of what was, the image seared
 
of me watching you go, my eyes are left wide, for all I know is gone, the hurt retained
 
like some paper thin walls that come back to echo , to reverberate, not fade
 
that dripping sink, our first place, no longer a comfort, my fist through a wall
 
my way to recall, a few minutes more, just to lie with you, in the bed, we made


as your memory differs from mine, you and I remember, in our own way to explain

the story of a love now having gone cold, left behind, of what was, the image seared
 
of me watching you go, my eyes are left wide, for all I know is gone, the hurt retained

This is powerful and haunting.  My favorite lines:

One minor grammatic/spelling quibble
 

Quote from: mperry date=1455562087my right to saver
   

Is to change \"saver\"  to \"savor.\"

I like this too buddy...  more of a lament, emotive and deep...
