I've forgotten their mouths, and how their lips touched against my body. I don't remember the moments of heat anymore, just the silent sighs that were expelled into the bed. I turned my head away with tears on more than one occasion, who said that man isn't a brute beast? Who said that we aren't destined to hurt each other? We sneer on the same face that we smile with. We say words of love with the same lips that we slander others on. We're just beasts of the wild, roaming through this urban jungle. We slip silently and coldy into each others beds. Yet our souls are freezing. We are frigid creatures. Where did the heart go? When did love disapear and angst and despair take over? All of us who have forgotten to love, how sweet it feels when we fall into someone when we can't stand. So often it's forgotten that anger and hurt can't hold us up, that sooner or later that foundation with fall. Only to be rebuilt upon that same mortar and brick. But I found my stepping stone. I found my path in the forest. I found myself eventually as well. Somewhere hidden in the recesses of memory, where there were stinging bites and claw marks, and their faces that filled me with tears. They do not have power over me anymore. I release them. |
