A Drawn Out Memory- Wrapped on Chain

A Drawn Out Memory- Wrapped on Chain

It's not fair you still wear it

around your neck

like some sentimental thing

given to you.

Make me angry

make me sentimental myself

wrap it around

and dangle it in my face.

What does he think of it

or have you even told?

Or is it locked away

just like I was like some romance novel

given to you twice

and a childhood memory

wrapped up

and given on a red holiday after the cross.

Are these your arms-

these photos?

Are you stretching to say something only seen

and known by you and me?

Do you come back often

to the past and keep it in reach just to keep sentiment there.

how romantic to deny yourself

when you're just denying me.

Is it torture

or device to coil and wrap.

Or maybe it's just a thing

Just a silly thing.

That only I'm wrapped up in.

Maybe things are just things

and I'm reading too much

thinking too much

like I always do

and did.

-Matthew Koutzun

Did I mention I mention I miss you?

That I wonder how things would have been

if I hadn't been forgotten on christmas.

If I hadn't raised a fuss.

Fussy me.

I can only smile because it's true.

And wear it.

Keep it on you if you like it

even if it's sentiment.

I won't mind.

And finally don't.
