memory

When the smell of my skin
Fades from your sheets
Will you remember 
How it felt to touch me

When my breath 
Leaves your pillowcase
Will you catch me in your lungs  
Before you fall asleep 

I’m jealous of the waves in your curls
the air on your legs
the light on your dress
Jealous of the breath in your chest
The ground at your feet
The wall you lean on
When you’re drunk and trying to keep steady

When the color of my eyes
Leaves your memory
What will you see
When you think of me
