I wish I couldn’t remember <br /> <br />The resonance of your voice, <br />Your silly laugh, <br />And sillier jokes, <br />The way you always got mine, <br />Your hair when we woke in the mornings. <br /> <br />I wish I couldn’t remember <br /> <br />Your triumphant dance at my door when you finally arrived, <br />You playing on the floor with my cat, <br />The way you teased me, <br />They way you touched me, <br />They way you tasted. <br /> <br />I wish I couldn’t remember <br /> <br />The way your eyes danced with your farm boy grin, <br />Your sparkling wit, stimulating intellect, <br />Or your sweet charm, <br />The way you sat at the bar, <br />The way you said my name when we made love. <br /> <br />I wish I couldn’t remember <br /> <br />The way your lush eyelashes rested on your cheeks, <br />And the rhythm of your breathing as you slept, <br />The shape of your shoulder, <br />The luster of the hair on your chest in morning light, any light, <br />The weight of your arm anchoring me. <br /> <br />I wish I couldn’t remember you.<br /><br />Lee Ann Schaffer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/craving-amnesia/
