Do you remember me?

Do you remember me?
I remember even the smell of your breath.
The way you would move, and around you, the air,
Somehow, always, caught in your hair.

How my heart would skip a beat
When I would see you.
Only, just, see.
A kiss would take my life, then hand it back to me.

You told me there was no love there.
But there was spark.
There was volatility.
There were explosions,so many; uncanny.

Do you remember the night sky, the stars?
The silence that you hated?
The questions that I asked?
A weak moment has me running through the past.

Do you ever think
Of the silhouettes and the shadows?
The dew, the stones, the weed?
How our breaths lulled us to sleep?

Yes, there was love there.
It's just that you never knew.
I caught on, but, a tad too late.
The only thing you couldn't satiate.

I would listen, as you would talk
About the others that ruled your thoughts
Do you know how many times I died?
Parts of me even your kisses didn't revive.

You ensured you never held my hand,
Seized my heart, and part of my soul,
Unintentional, the only aim, la morte, petite.
Oh, loveless slayer, do you remember me?
