As I Try So Hard


Deserted places. 

Where there are no faces. 

Where the past erases. 

Trying so hard to get away.  

From memories in my head 

that play. 

Trying to forget. 

Forget your name.  

Forget my name. 

Remembering them brings 

the same shame 

from which yesterday I ran.


More memories of us 

than sand. 

Looking ahead. 

Eyes on the ground. 

My steps repeat.  

Over and over they walk 

through the heat.  

No one here to meet. 

No one is what I seek.  

As I try not to remember 

when.  

Remember then.  

Just need to get away. 

Stop the memories 

that continue to replay. 

Tight my eyes I shut. 

My throat chokes on my

sobs or maybe just 

dust.  

Ahead is all I see. 

As I try so hard to run away

from me.
