ASSEMBLAGE
I could be an assemblage-
A collection of broken dreams
And love lost.
I could vanquish all my tears
I could trade my sorrows
For my fears.
I could recollect a time when you
Pretended to care.
I could simply cower away
And take it from there.
I could be an assemblage-
A collection of the unwanted
And the odd.
I could abandon all my memories
And start over again.
I could release this power
I had given to you.
I could simply forget much too soon.
