did you forget
She walks to the subway in the pouring rain, completely alone.
Her mom doesn't want her.
Her best friend isn't in town.
She has no where to go.
that i was even alive
She takes a train with no particular destination.
Of course, she ends up in his neighborhood.
did you forget
She had loved sitting on top of his balcony with the curtain pushed at an angle. She would drape her legs over the railing and paint the skyscrapers and apartments looming down on the passing cars and streets below.
He had always kept the curtain open even when he wasn't home so that she could climb through the fire escape to come and paint.
The exit was now blocked. The curtains fully drawn, only muffled light leaking to the edges of the scaffolding and into the now setting sun.
everything we ever had
Around Halloween, she had complained about the lack of decorations around his house. His parents weren't big holiday fanatics; all they had was a box of Christmas lights. So they put them up all around the window and outside of the house. It was festive, even if it wasn't the right holiday, she had said.
It took him much longer to take the lights off.
As much as he tried, traces of her still lingered indefinitely. The lights had left dust marks in the brick wall exterior of the apartment. The fire escape had scuff marks exactly the size of her feet. The curtain had a permanent crease.
did you forget
And of course, neither of them could ever remove the trace of each other from their skin,
about me
let alone their mind.
