Description
Shared cigarette stubs andHalf empty shot glasses,
Crumpled hotel receipts that will
Now nestle with memories.
Stained sheets that wait
For laundry bleach,
Numbers that will die on
Alien telephone lines-
Things you leave behind
With my shadow on tired city walls.

This is simply amazing. It is so beautiful, in a way that takes your mind and makes you want to weep. Excellent job on this, and a wonderful concept. The words also are fantastic. Thank you for making another great work. A definite favorite.

The words, are so dark and retrospective, every line is looking back; the refusal to forget, the obsession with the smallest reminders, it is all terribly sad. And the numbers that will die, our first tiny glimmer of the future tense and yet it is so, so tragic.
The only that I did not understand was my shadow. A shadow of your former self? I am not sure, it evaded me.

I don't know why I have this as my featured deviation still... a bit of sporadic cyclic purging i guess.
The shadow here is me as a mute spectator. There was so much I couldn't control in that situation, that I was as much a spectator as the central 'dramatis personae' to whom all this was happening to....
