Oct 2013
I slept under your heavy blanket and soaked in your intoxicating scent.
I pressed my chest into the mattress underneath me, deluded myself into thinking it could be you.
I rubbed my wrists on the sheets, just like how you used to caress them.
I pressed my lips deep into the pillow, suffocating like your kisses.
I curled my toes into thin air, just as yours used to curl into mine.
I tipped back the bottle and swallowed like I saw you do.
I faded,turned cold just like when I watched you turn blue too.
