Artipod - a poem's journey

Common Memory

Share Your Thoughts With Me.

I was you
You were me
And now 
I'm holding heavy words
Inside of me.

Forgetting your face
Forgetting your smile 
Is a process that
I thought would take 
So much more time

I'm getting used 
To bashing around
With future particles
And past meteorites
Things that weigh in my heart
And weigh in my mind
Collide in that part of me that 
Keeps old memories
And weary the last big one down

You made one mistake
I made two
You made three
And I made four
I keep making more mistakes 
that i can endure
These small dramas of mine
This big explosion of yours
The last thing that we need
Is closed doors

The first thing that we need is 
A hand shake
A small act with a big wave
So pure, so elocuent...
End of  all grief

It's so hard and so easy
In the meantime
Forgetting was easy
Changing is hard
It's like this big elephant 
And the room is dark

Never followed my gut
Never acted through mind
I aimed my heart at everything, everytime

So follow your gut, the decade is long 
Chase whatever you want all along

The true becomes truer
The simple, the simplest
Add years to our bodies
And your face got some wrinkles

And as i sat in big rooms 
With empty souls
My mind would wander to you
What she might be doing 
And who are you
Still got that emptiness
In those big eyes of yours
I still got that smile
In this big heart of mine

What yesterday was 
Can never not be true

And yes 
I was you
You we're me 
But Now we are
A common memory
