My lonely mind will not let me forget
All the details that make up who you are
The marks left on your surface and within
Down to every last blemish and scar

I'm reminded of your gentle hands
The patterns they traced on my skin
A single touch is all it took
For your sweet poison to seep in

I still taste your kiss on my lips
The pressure from yours in the dark
Friction unlike any before or since
Only your caress ignites that spark

Every morning when I wake
From another tortured dream
I stare into my coffee mug
And feel your hot breath rise with the steam

I look to the sky and see your eyes
Gazing back into my own
The identical shade of blue
As your irises is what I'm shown

The sunshine softly lands on my cheeks
I can't help but recall the heat
From the blood rushing under your flesh
Through your veins, the glow is bittersweet

The wind whispers your name to me
A wispy echo in my ears
I weakly attempt to stop the sound
Yet nothing can tame these shameful fears

When I drive I turn up the music
Hoping to drown out thoughts of you
To no avail, the bass thumps the
Exact rhythm your heartbeat used to

Raindrops collect on the window
Like the tears that formed on your lashes
Fragments of our past keep coming
Back to me in sporadic flashes

My bed has grown to twice the size
It was before this tired dispute
I wrap myself in blankets but
For your arms there is no substitute

I have replaced your chest with my pillow
It lies there stoic, seeming too still
The absence of your exhaling lungs
Keeps me awake against my will

I remember every inch of you
Lost in what was, I'm losing control
Your memory is a phantom
Clinging to my heart, haunting my soul
