Bathroom Mirror
Your last goodbye was a note written in dry-erase marker on my mirror.
"Bathroom Mirror"
You left notes on my bathroom mirror
Of all the things
You were too scared to say to my face.
You left notes on my bathroom mirror
Of thanks and apologies
That you should have said to my face.
Because the thing about leaving notes
On other people’s bathroom mirrors
Right before you leave
Is that it’s cowardly.
You should have said sorry to me,
Told me I wasn’t crazy
Like you said I was.
You should have apologized
For kicking in my bedroom door
And leaving a gaping hole.
But instead, you left me with one more thing
To remember you by.
One more thing to haunt the empty spaces in my brain.
One more thing to make my bleeding heart
Bleed a little harder when I think of you.
You left me with a ghost of you
Written in EXPO marker
On my bathroom mirror.

The Cave Part 6
If you have ever heard a tale about yourself that you cannot remember and doubtless think is made up, you will know how I felt when Tharkin related all that the eagle had seen of me before my memories were scattered. Of far distances and traveling companions that I did not recall, camping out under the stars and making our way to the mountains with deliberate purpose. The great bird had lost contact with my party once we entered the forests, and the seven other members were not seen again by him or his brethren since.
