"muscle memory"
you said with a grin
and i couldn't help but wonder
what you
or your muscles
even remember about this place
to reach across the table for a hand
that shies away
when all it wants is to hold on with a death grip
if i was cut out like a tumor
at least i'd understand
why you'd want to rid yourself of me
but instead
i spread and infested all parts of you
and your memory
