I miss you, I miss her

by @emma-tomat

When I close my eyes In those times when my mind wanders An image of you makes my heart sting I see her on the outside like shes still inside The words we exchanged in moments shared Encompassed in pouring water Our bodies pressed gently as we laid near I wish I had caught your distance But your promises of forever broke my heart I needed you Would it have made a difference if I knew that then? I admit this now as the wet pen strokes the soft paper Like the smell of your empty room our time together was short lived, like the happiness in your eyes The fire you started burnt me to a smoldered black You were so small and comfortable in my arms Yet the damage you did was enough for two After my death you became absent Your words posed threats, and you told me I changed but how do you stay the same after you lose your life I needed you Where did you go when you went back to him Is your unhappiness in his bed, better than a year with me I was your first valentine, and our drunk kisses tasted like warm blooded wine In exile you run to forget us I see you with your crowd you cling Your eyes look over me, and under your clothes I miss you You left me in ruins The pieces I had already lost, far before you came I needed you, and I feel the need for you still grows Im a fool, yet I know you're still here You're in my head like a plague I know your silence, it speaks enough You've left, and you made sure I don't follow.
