Go Away, but Don't Leave

Time neglected to erode the memories.

Mind flashes...

faces in climax

touching tongues, skin to skin

Pushing in for the first time

Tears

The aftermath of emotion, conflict, demands

Regret and acceptance

The blade's tip broken off under the skin-

It still hurts

Confused by the pain

been a long time, but still...

it lingers; the first one always will

Time was suppose to delete thoughts like this

Why did they come to the surface now?

Parting smiles hide underlying jealousy and restraint

Please go away, but don't leave.
