The Trouble with a Memory

I’ve begged for just one memory

This doesn’t work anymore

Not with my kind

Ask and you shall receive

But only on my terms

I’ve found the pore through which to infiltrate 

Now you are mine but I am not yours

I never was I never will be

That’s just how it has to be

My rage has caught the floor on fire

Down goes the forest to black

Real flames but an imaginary sanctuary

I’m choking as I gasp 

Tears of fury stunt my vision

The memory was so good

Even more than if all the fairies of the world would kiss me deeply and wash me in a magic stream

A fresh red wet sweetly tart strawberry 

The best any ever tasted

My tongue is still in my mouth

Now all I’ll ever taste again is the nothing of the air and water

For which I must be grateful
