In Situ

If you looked inside 
This head I have tried
To completely and utterly forget you

No matter the time 
Memories sublime
Unexpected love that was made anew 

The distance and space
Won’t clear or erase
This longing that craves, how I want you

Morning sun and night 
Darkened moon and light
It’s the ghost of your soul that I cling to

Not real, not at all
Blank sterile, white wall
Sketches of our nullity coming through

Empty hands clasping air
Why on earth should you care
You never think of me at all, do you?

Every time it might go
I fall back into throes
Ignoring proof, it’s nothing, it’s not true

Close my eyes, close my heart
Desire keeps us apart
In denial, in deeper, in situ
