despite the intentions
random smudges remain
captured in ridges
too small to notice
to anyone other than me
there was something
written here on this sheet
long before today
how long it remained
or why it was put there
no one could tell you now
despite all the efforts
anyone could tell
an eraser can only do so much
the grooves are still there
when the graphite's removed
if you search long enough
you'll find them
the imprint will never fade
they're no longer legible
and can't be understood
since it no longer looks the same
with clarity and substance erased
