Staring down at the glass
clenched tightly in my hand,
I try and peer through the surrounding fog
Still only seeing bits and pieces
hidden behind old layers of dirt,
the only memories left of you -
Hiding my smile against your neck,
letting my hands trace familiar pathways
discovered years ago,
Meeting your soft lips just like the first time.
So, so foolish, to think
that I could take on the world for you,
keep you away from the burning hatred,
make you safe from the pain of knowledge,
When I couldn't even keep you in the end.
