Wash Me Of You

Sometimes I want to wash you from my mind.
Scrub every corner and memory and sigh.
With it remove memories of first kiss, first touch, first laugh.
The way you throw your head back when you laugh - that too.
Each caress, each rush to touch and the feel of you inside me.
The smell of you - the way you taste under my lips. 
The way you respond to my tongue tracing my needs.
And your tongue, your mouth right and wrong and real.
Demanding and giving and wanting- how can one mouth be so much?
Black magic so strong that I won't recall the first shock of...
"I love him."
Spells and incantations that will replace the connection and communication.
Ritual and rites that will bleed me of you - whatever the cost.
Willing to bind myself- willing to lie to myself- willing to be other than myself...
Wash me of you.
