- The Weight of Matter -

Today,
between yawns
and laughs,
work and play,
dragging minutes
and lost hours,
I didn't think
of you at all.
You were just
a faded memory
being written over
by these ordinary
random moments
that matter more.
Like an erased file
on an old desktop,
you've become
the shadow on
the hard drive
slowly being rewritten.
I forgot about
the pain
the lies
the uncertainty
the insecurity
I forgot about you,
and when I remembered,
the hurt seemed to
matter less.
