forget my name
as it escapes from your lips.
embraced by your thighs
my neck twists
your legs turn.
the night is gone,
and so are you.
followed by a
silhouette
of cigarette smoke.
broken glasses
remnants of whiskey
stained
the pages of
your favorite book.
I trace the edges
of the dog eared pages
trying to find
your finger prints.
but they're lost in the words.
just an imprint
on my mind,
the echo of your
goodbye.
