Something Still Alive

The memories that I forgot
For my sanity

The feelings that I buried
For your convenience

The essence of you
I saw you in my dream

Like a wave breaking through a mountain
I felt you in my dream

Like fire
It all came back to me

My dreams don’t care to keep me sane
Nor for your convenience

My dream is my heart

And my heart knows
Your essence

That I can never forget
Even if I go insane

I can never bury you
Without burying myself

There will always be this sense
Of you
Of a burial
Of something still alive in me

For the convenience
Of forgetting
My feelings

For you
