Memories seep into my mind
like water into pavement,
taking hold and expanding
until my mind is forced to crack around them
leaving gapping potholes
between the folds of my brain
that exist as a physical reminder
of what once was.
Dark abscesses
where the memory of you
has eroded everything,
leaving nothing but a dark hole
where so many other things used to be.

But now I have to pave over it,
create new folds to
fill in what's been lost,
new stretches of road to
cover up the past.

And I find myself desperately searching for the
mixture of everything I need to do
to cover up everything I remember of you-
to mask the things you said,
and all the things I wish that we did.

Trying to find new ways to make black tarmac
to cover up the black scars that
no car could drive on.
Making new asphalt
to cover up the fault lines
that shock my mind
into racing overtime
whenever I am thinking of you
and the things that we could do.

Instead I am a construction worker
working over time in order to
pave these lines, these faults,
that exist within my mind.
Still a work in progress, but I figured I should post it
