Carcass of What Was

Though I shouldn’t engage I cannot help but to feel The best parts of me Encased in your seal Like a bear snared in a trap Wrenching in pain alone I cannot remove myself from her As her back slowly turns What I wish will never be For the times we shared And eloquent words spoke Forever embedded in my mind As alone I begin to choke As I watch you depart I slowly burn inside With the memories that remain Nothing left to fear But a hollow disdain So haunted am I In some mysterious haze As I hear her glorious song Though the taste is different It never seems to linger for long As stagnant as I am I cannot look away As you slip off to revelry And violently swept into another’s gaze So alone I am to sink Violently into the night Holding on to the dead carcass As I seek what was never mine For what I want to do I don’t And what I don’t I do A part of me is carried of in the distance Left with the stunning memories of you
