I want to commit to paper
the words
that will commemorate
for eternity
the way I feel
right now
But the words will not come
my feelings, emotions
are so new
so raw
that I cannot probe
to see what is written
on the soft side
It’s all I can do
to sit still
and savour
the marks you have left
on my body
on my pillow
on my heart
Even though
the words will not come
the memory
is burnt into my soul
and
for as long as i live
i will never
EVER
forget tonight
