run

Run the shower

I need to wash off the memories

 

your touch still imbibed in my skin

from your embrace

your gentle caress

your beautiful scent

 

I'm so in love with you

but you're the forbidden fruit

that I cannot possess

 

I wish you could guide me in the darkness

to the light at the end

but I will stay inside this cave

 

I wish you could stop running marathons

in my head

and come back beside me instead

 

whilst I've been planting trees

you set alight to my forest

 

you've been travelling my world

whilst I've been locked away

run the shower

because I need to wash away your ghost
