She feels the soft murmur against her skin,
savors the glow of being loved
yet can't bring herself to stay
Momo's so sweet
even when she can't remember his name
She draws closer to him,
feels temporary relief
yet curses her own existence,
what she is behind this mask
She smiles when he kisses her,
feels her heart bounce back to her attention
yet feels it fade from her center
once she walks away,
sprinkles the ash of forgotten love around her
A woman can only love so much.
