'But I Forget Why' by B. E. Amer

But I Forget Why
by
B.E. Amer
 
Ten years have gone by.
We needed distance,
But I forget why.
 
My mind knew.
My heart hurt.
But I forget why.
 
Time heals wounds,
And mends relationships.
But I forget why.
 
I blame the Devil:
A con artist whose currency is time.
 
We gave him our time.
And exhausted our relationship.
But I forget why.
 
We parted ways;
And, back then, that made sense.
But I forget why.
 
Now ten years have gone by.
And there’s still a gash etched in my heart.
But I want to forget why.
