Deckard
they roll in like storms
upon a quiet shore…
these memories
unforgiving in their clarity
yet i protect them
nurture them
your twisted, unwavering distrust

for a glimpse of love
would appear from the shadows
in those rare, quiet nights 
when you allowed yourself to love me 
the few moments i remember
being alive
