Topography

My memories of you are messy.
They play outside of the lines

and ignore in what manner
we promised things would be,

and how we were looking
at completely different maps.

Damn...

I wish this was something I had written. Short and certain, a map for sure. As the crow flies, looking over the hills and valleys.
Yeah, your title is great, the lines crisp and clear. Nicely done sir. ~ Geez.
