cherry flavored memories

Remember that night?

The soft glow of the tv reflecting blue on the walls

Our tongues dancing to the music

That played in the background

I had you pinned the wrong way round on the bed

Your head between my arms

Every part of us touching

I could feel the heat on your skin

The melody of your heartbeat

You tasted like the cherry sucker I gave you

An hour before

Oh, how I used to drown in your melancholy

 

Yet now all I feel is water

Little drops from the shower

While I stare at what never was

The music of your breathing still plays in my ears

When the night is quiet enough

Sometimes I swear I still feel your skin

But the moment passes and I’m left with this cold sort of feeling

An empty swell in my chest

A tingle behind my eyes

You are nothing but dull memories now

Nothing but a thought of remembrance
