Pink Pearl Eraser

By Err0r

There are nights
When I stare vacantly into the pores of my fingertips
And ponder if I could rub the prints away with
My pink pearl eraser...

And there are days
When I can't possibly fathom just why
Anyone would have ever made
My pink pearl eraser...

When I'm alone
Sometimes I get lost in my thoughts
Adrift at sea in the depths of my mind
And think how different it could've been.

How different the way I would be
If I never wrote these words

If I had used ...

My pink pearl eraser.

Just whom would I have become
Without my mental release.

The cup overflows and
spills out
my days of yester year.

Are my words the definition of me?
Or do my words rely on me to be written?

I concede to my pink pearl eraser

And oh the woe it must have seen...

The mistakes soaked into you
from the spills of others
Not as lucky as I

To express just
A tiny bit at a time...

And to you
My pink pearl eraser

All I can say
Is simply this...

I'm thankful you can only erase
What's on paper.

[Should I ever stray from my thoughts one lonely night...]

that sure is a different take on the idea of what we would be without our words. i feel confident in saying if i didn't release my demons i wouldn't have been the only one that went away in a pine box.

As a math student, erasers are well praised and you can be very screwed without them. I agree, it is better to live without regrets and 'do overs'. ~T

Thats a lot better and less painful than the lava soap my mom used to use when trying to erase my naughty words from mouth. Clever.
