Don't Forget
Bathroom mirror reflected two faces every day
Brushing, fatigue whittled under four frog-eyes.
(That) Stayed up all night evoking different books.
Strolled placid walks daily early morning
To scour the silent nature and write of it.
We both wanted to become writers.
All that's left of it is me.
As I look in the bathroom mirror
It slaps my face with the memory of your face,
Exposing your spumescent smile.
Painful tears climb eyes as I see
Your ghost,
The ripples they cause never settle.
Once this was a home we lived
Together in.
Now, it's an atrocious monster's belly that
Swallowed just me.
I wrote this poem at 4 am. As my eyes were constantly failing to fall asleep. It felt good to write something this late at night. I hope you guys enjoy the poem.

I've never heard the phrase: "tears climbed eyes" before. This is a really beautifully written phrase. I always appreciate when a writer can craft something in a new way.
