she's
a liar and
a foolish woman
​too full of herself or
​frightened to
admit

​she's lost without you

​
the
sun is gone
​blue skies have faded and
clouds hover above
​her

​
Sunrays
​only reflect upon lovers
and she suffers at each glimpse of
​their togetherness

​
Loneliness
​has entombed her
she's chilly whether indoors or out
​day and night even when temperatures
​reach record breaking, hot

​she

​is

​f r e e z i n g

​
Her
​tears fall like
​rainfall whenever she
​encounters lingering scent of you
​and her spent in the bedroom, bathroom, living room

​in

​every

​single

​room
christened
​in the name of a
​soul deep love

​and like a shrine she enters each 
​kneeling, inhaling and worshiping EVERY **** image
​that daily ritual brings

​and

​when
​compelled to step
​outside amongst scrutinizing eyes

​she
​prances in her
​prefabricated glow trying
​to convince those
​around her

​she
​hasn't
​missed
​a
step
​without 
​you

​
all
​awhile
​­inside

​she's tripping

​and

​crying out in
​agony

​
since you

the
sun's
​been
​gone

​
and

​she's cold

​soul

​cold
