Memory Fiction

We were reaching out towards the next phase of ourselves, autonomous from what connected us
I couldn't face the shame
This won't be the last time that I find I couldn't place the blame
Lessons that I find in love that we left behind
Palm against palm, numbed by polarity
Revelations in love and in the space of its scarcity
On the day I decided to leave, felt like an impostor in someone else's destiny
Now I feel free
In love that we left behind
Our origins grow hazy, who am I kidding
I can't recall what I felt in the beginning
My life is my story is my jurisdiction, and I'm allowed to grieve you in my memory fiction
Love that we left behind
I couldn't face the shame
This won't be the last time that I find I couldn't place the blame
Lessons that I find in love that we left behind
