I forgot about them until I separated my mouth from those words

T h e m

Seemed like a stretch of time the further it became, the more it made sense of what was sewed deep beneath the threads of earth

Tangled and Stitched into the remains of a melted fabric, a worn blanket

Hot and dense, set on fire

Engulfing what I couldn’t remember, but the more I recollected, you’re the stitch that seemed to stay

Lingering as a perfume would on me

Overpowering and hard to ignore

I thought I was good at those types of things, but all I can remember is you these days
