Distinguishable Marks

Admit it you think of me

From time to time

When yelling at traffic

Or thinking of rhymes

 

There is no denying

I leave an impression

Sometimes with wise words

Sometimes rampant obsession

 

It’s so very subtle

The ways I can stick

Like a touching song lyric

Or a bludgeoning brick

 

I’m much like a velvet

Often very soothing

But when rubbed the wrong way

You may be left brooding

 

I am rather imperfect

But also a gas

If you want to match wills

You’d better think fast

 

You may try to discard me

Or leave me behind

But much to your dismay

I’ll still creep in your mind

 

Whether our time was sweet

Or a time you regret

The fact still remains

You will never forget
