My skin still hurts

by loony

It's been some time now And I still haven't figured out how to walk past you Without feeling that every muscle in my body is dying Including the one beating in my chest So fast That my skin starts hurting. And I'm sitting here now Trying to cover my eyes with the smoke of the millionth cigarette I've smoked Since I last saw your eyes. And my skin still hurts. And somehow The calm rain washing the ground where I've spilled my drunken soul Still sounds like your voice. Like music does. And my soul smells like you. And my skin still hurts. Like your absence does. It's been some time now And I still haven't figured out How to close my eyes Without seeing you in my dreams. And my skin still hurts. Like your smile does.
