Why can't I stop thinking about you?
Will your image ever leave my mind?
Do you miss the soft push of my lips on your skin?
How did our two lives become so entwined?

Where do we place the lingering blame?
Can we lock it in a box and put it out of sight?
Is there a chance for us to start again?
Are we doomed to fade with the daylight?

When will this guilt finally subside?
Has it built a home inside your gut too?
How do I control my urges?
Why can't I stop loving you?

Who am I without your touch?
If I do not have you what remains?
Am I fated to live tethered to my regrets?
Will your name forever flow through my veins?

What keeps me anchored to your flesh?
Could it be the spell cast with your smile?
Why am I drawn to your damaged demeanor?
Is it the passion you effortlessly rile?

How did our relation-ship sink in the inconsistent-sea?
Which iceberg capsized our boat?
Should I have stayed and drowned tide to your side?
Do you believe I was enough to keep you afloat?
I like this one better than part one. It also took me a lot longer to write. These questions are constantly gnawing at my heart.
