At the expense of a small wrist dance, I forgot what there was. I forgot the posture, the safety as words hug me, the comfort, the stream falling down my eyes as I hold a pen to write, how it takes the venom out of me, how it kills the illness, suffocates the worries and ease the pain. I forgot the healing at the end, how I read the self-made prescription, wipe up the tears and meet a sense of closure, moving on.
To forget the man whose presence reminds me of yours, I had to tie a black cloth around my wrist to guide me. But, to forget you, I did not because I did not want to forget you! I was forced to do so. And, instead, I wore the black cloth around my heart.
