Listlessness

There is no tighter grasp
held upon this skin
I am so ashamed to live in.

To "forget" is meaningless -
or impossible -
Your memory is a stubborn child.

Is it because, maybe,
you never gave me anything?
Or because I was too afraid to receive -

Afraid of a thousand things -

I am

Afraid I could not catch up to you,
(You always moved too fast)
Afraid you would not wait for me,
(You never thought about anyone else)
Afraid of our likeness.
(It is a horrible symmetry)

What did we want each other
to understand?
