Phantom Limb

by ximri

*I can still hear you, Singing to me softly, Your eyes on me only, Whispering "do you still love me?" I can still feel you, Cradeling my bones, Your arms around me, It still feels like home. I still see you, In every boy I kiss, And every crack On the sidewalk I stay up late, I grow weak, I can't stop these feelings, I can't stop you. You flood my mind, My brain is New Orleans, And you're my Katrina, And my levees break every time. I know I can never have you again, But at least I can miss you. My body aches from Aging too early Because living without you Is like adding decades to my heart, And no fountain of youth Can quench my thirst You're my phantom limb, Ive lost you, but I feel you With every move Every step Every time.*
