I Forgot How to Write

I forgot how to write
when I met you
you gave me nothing
to remember
No souvenir on this dresser
Not even a pic together
You weighed light
And I could not use your feather

I forgot how to write
when I met you
Your language
Seemed like foreign matter
A whole new strange encounter
It even made me look
Like a bad reader
A doubter
I pinched myself
To remember

How to write when I met you
I could neither feel
Your love
Nor comprehend
Your actions
That never matched
On the scale of your words
I forgot how to write
Because you changed
your mind
often
Not caring how I feel
I even looked in the mirror
A lot of times
Just to see if i was still real

As I peered hoping to see
As I paired hoping to see
On a pier hoping to see
Your light
Your love
Not something i comprehend
As resembling hate
Is there light
Through your window?
Is there even a crack of faith?
It bothers me
That you made me forget
Almost regret
To write
When I met you
