I wish it hadn't been
Written in pencil.
Words that quickly
Slipped from my grip.
Words that I have forgotten.
Words erasable,
erased from mind.
I wish this was written in pencil.
This numbing tingle,
Pain that paralyzes .
Leaving one to wish
Nothing, a tender eraser
Would swipe me from being
For I was just a sketch
Drawn wrong,
In pencil
