Breaking Up

You're breaking up, a once strong signal is being hacked by a light eroding time. Pixels are blinking in and out, a memory thread is fraying, your features and voice disappearing, peeling away from a past picture once framed by a familiar clarity. An entropy has led to a forgetfulness, a loss I can no longer patch together. I was once so confident of your enduring imprint upon my consciousness. Now your sign and signature are fast flowing into an ever-changing sea, and for all I know that you that I speak of could be me.
