Memories of an earlier time

The rain streams down my window

Your reflection of me is distorted as I look upon myself

I can see no further than your opinion

The frost settles upon my thoughts

Crystals of memories trace patterns of wanting

A ballet of wishes skates across the ice

You told me you loved me and then you laughed

You made me believe

You lied

I lay down in water warmth with clawed feet

The porcelain old and wearing

I feel nothing

Nothing reaches me

The flow of dreams fills the tub

I cut the flow

Red regrets dance and mingle

The dance you created in truth

Bleeds from my veins into nothingness

I lie back remembering

I finally forget
