We will only Forget our Lines

[womanthatrolls]

can you give me a reason
to say your name
softly, openly
full of deep set winks?

i have been walking round for days
trying to answer questions
that i am too scared
to imagine

holding my hands
inside each other
and asking
is this it?

have my feet reached zero?
has my skin healed soft enough
to pass as beautiful?

life is changing
finally
eventually
unstoppably
and this excites me

(but i think
i should be scared)

even though
i dance down the pavement these days
lighter
faster
free-er

clearer in mind

and i smile at the beauty
lulled by train rides
to anywhere but here

chugging
softly
floating

into what is sure to be
an unforgettable lifetime

i always told him
our lives were made for movies
but our scripts couldn't be changed

(we will only forget our lines)

Awesome. God this really hit home for me tonight and not a lot of poetry has been doing that lately. This part... this was perfect.
