Forgetting the Details - Martin Hall

Cheekbones made of light

Somewhere it’s morning

The languid grey of night

Leaving the fragrance of a cry

Guess you’re sliding back into your life

The pressure on your eyelids

Patterns of waiting

Of suffocating

Replaying the same scene

Recalling the same dream

Cover any feeling

Cover any reason now

You’re breathing the same air

The same hysteria

Like a mirrorball that shines

Just another flash of light

Deteriorating

Forgetting the details

Rewriting the scene in your mind

The exit signs of light

She’s lying beside me

She’s hidden in a sigh

In the changes of a room

Guess she’s sliding back into her life

The pressure on her eyelids

The time that it’s taking

Before she wakens

It feels like a lifetime

A memory rewind
