Life Forgotten Poem by Dakota Ellerton

How could someone dismantle me so,
it's as if my world holds by a black thread, just one.
With words so sharp,
my body is scarred, bruised.
With every breath I take I breathe in smoke,
and let out a wild cough.
I'm starting to forget now,
you and your lies.
I wake from a restless sleep and think nothing.
Picturing your face is near impossible,
feeling you touch is cruel.
I shake my head to forget,
that there's a thought on my mind I can't remember.
I could forget the thing's we'd done,
but not the thing you'd done.
Words from a stranger spin in my mind.
I remember the most unpleasent thing's.
As I lay here now, concious of my life, my mistakes.
I picture the nights you'd come.
Your hands running down my body,
my mouth on your flesh.
You were the biggest part of me,
are the biggest part of me.
Without you by my side,
I'd surely give up.
What excuse will I make next?
To run from this reality.
Truth be told,
I probably couldn't forget you.
