i forget to remember

Make the assumption

you aren’t desired
see what it does, how it
seeps into you:
unwanted, cast off
at the moment, the millisecond
when love seemed at reach:
it’s not this time, or situation
but you specifically
love denied, wanting nothing more
with you.
You know it’s false
but feel it anyway, scum:
only despair can lead you
to repentance & repair.
