I try to forget
The way her name
Slipped so easily
Through my mind
And off of my tongue

I try to forget
The way her eyes
Pulled me in
Like a tide
That couldn’t be resisted

I try to forget
The way my dragons
Writhed and ached
To touch her skin
And taste herr flesh

I try to forget
The way I loved
Even when I knew
Love
Would never be enough

I try to forget
All these things
That I know
That even if I could
I never want to forget
