Amnesia Poem by Rebecca Pepper

Amnesia



You hold my hand and I fight the tears
Not because of you but of my fear
A fear so primal it's tearing me apart
Now we're right back to the start
You look into my eyes and say my name
My cheeks are burning with all this shame
I can't keep close contact with you anymore
I let my eyes fall to the bright white floor
Is this how it's going to be from now on?
Is that life really so long gone?
I want to look at your face a recognise those eyes
And be able to name my family ties
But they say I locked it deep within
And now I can't even point out my own kin
So tell me, if you are who you say you are
Tell me of our life so far
Because I need to know if you can deal with me
And not the person I may no longer be
Or am I not the one you called lover
And now are you going to look for another
Tell me now so I can choose
Between the man I cant remember and the man I stand to lose
