Now that you're gone I can't quite remember which one you were.
I stuffed as many others between us as they could bear.
I discipline the blood across my face and look for the one who makes me the one I want to be.
Leos and lessons
Lios y lesiones.
I broke down in my car.
I seem to remember
Amid a torrent of faces.
From Sweden to Shoreham
via home, Spain and Ferring
And I missed all of you.
I sat staring at a school where I had lived a different life
(To soothe my bruise of a soul)
While on my way to a girl I don't respect.
So I drove home,
Not to reminisce,
just reheating memory.

Hey london_calling79! Welcome to ABCtales :) This is a stunning piece - deceptively simple, yet full of depth. Those last four lines are particularly good. Love the image of 'reheating' a memory. Well done on your first cherry!
