that one day,
i would be able to go weeks
without you crossing my mind.
i had shaken my head at the time,
said it was not possible to forget
fires in the middle of the night
ladybugs on white walls
sleeping in cots in strange houses
but now i find it so hard to recall
the first time you made me cry and
how your voice sounded when
you tried to coax me into your bedroom
and the look in your eyes when i said no.
