Can't Filter Desire

Yesterday the advert read,
"Cigarette filters", cut down the bad,
Inhale the good. Today it was,
"Clothes shopping, skip the queue."
And all the while I was thinking of you.
It seems, all is filtered these days,
You only need to take the best,
But this will never apply to desire,
A concept inviting a bitter zest.
And often I think about days when
I wished I could filter the night before,
Shamelessly crying in the rain,
As I walked in the night, past your door.
And I thought of what lay within there,
Your home, your heart, your life,
I wondered if you sat cosily,
Alone, or with a pregnant wife.
And I thought about how I would filter,
Everything in your head that was not about me,
I thought of all of the snapshots I'd taken
Of you, with my own sad memory.
And now I realise I'm still flicking,
Through an album of images in my mind,
Unable to filter completely that space,
Where you dominate every second of time.
