Lingering
It’s almost like you don’t exist,
Your name – a hollow word.
And when I speak it, it’s as if
My mouth produced a ****.
And looking at your photograph
My eyes grow weak and weary,
One more moment and they would
Have combusted involuntarily.
Your scent is all around me still
And now with every whiff
I am compelled to shut my eyes
And jump off of a cliff.
And in my mind I hear your voice
It wakes me in my bed
And will each night until the day
I cut off my own head.
That kiss still lingers on my lips,
The last an final one,
I taste it… and then dream of poring
Acid on my tongue.
I feel you when you’re not around,
It’s worse than any pain.
To dull its sting I think I might
Just set myself aflame.
You left me and I'm over it.
I swear I have moved on!
But still it’s like you’ve been with me
Each day since you’ve been gone.
You're the one to blame but I
Should have know you be bitter….
When as revenge I removed your skin
And used it as a sweater.
