Soft skin
Addictive smile
She slips through
Easy to let go.
I struggled on
Missing her scent
Girlish twinkle
In every mirror.
Left me hanging
Just a memory
With her hair in my face
And her hands in the sky.
Why do I try
When all I do is breathe
And see a shadow over me
Why do I cry
When there's nothing
She's the shadow over me.
You provided shelter
Without a shoulder
I lived through that
To see your face.
Now I look ahead
Holding hands
Feeling your presence
But I'm alone.

I wrote this when I was inspired by a Sam Smith song I was listening to (not Too Good At Goodbyes fyi)
I find it easy to write about a woman breaking my heart because women break my heart easily if I'm not careful. This poem isn't based on a real woman however (as stated above, I was inspired by a Sam Smith song.)
Enjoy!
