keepsake

She promised she would tell me 
If she was going to leave me forever 
Although now that I recall that moment
(as I can recall every moment spent with her) 
She never specified exactly how

Puffy white cumulonimbus shaped like an anatomically-correct shattering heart?
Sliver of moonlight breaking through a blackout curtain? 
A recall on my exact prescription of antidepressants?

Clever girl

She must have known I'd know her anywhere

And march on
Despair sucking my boots into the mud

Can't stop moving
In case I'm wrong
(as I've been wrong so many times before) 
And she's still there, somewhere, waiting
