I
Fading in and out
Appearing
Disappearing
Thoughts coming
Going
Glimpses surface
Then fade
Memories
Sunlight
Streaming through a window
Dust meandering through
Fingers
Tiny
Gripping my hand
A smile
Lip gloss
Twinkling green eye
Blush, not makeup
Silverware clinks
Candlelight flickering
Perfume
Warmth
Heat of another body
Muffled voices
Moans
TV glowing in the dark
Wood splintering
Knuckles bloody
Smoke exhaling
Dancing in the moonlight
Screaming
Tears hitting the table
Burn of whiskey
Red lipstick
Smiling
Yelling
Late night calls
The voice in the dark
Infant crying
Love dying
Stifled goodbyes
Rain pattering the ground
Cigarette burning my fingers
Lying in bed
I
Alone
Fading in and out
