Sometimes we see better,
When we turn away from sight,
Many things seem clearer,
Within the absence of light,

I close my eyes to know you better,
Reconstructing you within my mind,
Your scent, your sound, and every texture,
For the future me, it will remind,

Sleek dark brown hair matches your eyes,
Your breath which smells of golden ale,
My fingertips brush along your thighs,
Reading your goosebumps like braille,

Indeed, I may never see you again,
Still, the presence of you resides within my brain.

You’ve left a bitter taste in my mouth,
Your fragrance clung to my breath,
Things with you have gone south,
You’ve taken a toll on my health,

I watch embers chase white paper,
Leave blackened ash in your wake,
At times you have made things seem better,
In time you’ve become something to hate,

I’ll miss the warmth at my fingertips,
Not forget the rush you bring to my head,
Nothing but poison between my lips,
Hard not to want you before going to bed,

I loved you but I can’t live in regret,
Time to snub you out, my sweet cigarette.

Withered petals,
My time has passed,
This pain is mental,
Broken glass,

Pushed to the edge,
I no longer fear,
Free me from my cage,
My end is near,

I hope it comes swiftly,
Eternal sleep,
although I’m not guilty
I silently weep,

Should my body sway from the breeze in the trees,
I’m just somebody who no one would miss.

Your hand in mine,
Your warm embrace,
We were fine,
Those were the days,

Our love was strong,
It was evergreen,
But now it’s gone,
A distant dream.

We wake together,
In the same bed,
Staring at each other,
Is our relationship dead?

We’re always mad at one another,
Memoirs of a half hearted lover.

Passion, the flame that eats.
Obsession, constantly fueling.
Intoxication, clouds the mind.
Satisfaction, so hard to achieve.
Obligation, the reason we wake.
Negotion, a price for everything.
