I swear Last night As I lay awake You sighed With satisfaction From the kitchen Where we used to drink it all in. I swear This morning As I lost myself to work Covered in paint Swimming in words Lost at a pen's tip Your hands Toyed with my hair Your lips Caressed my neck. I swear You're here I can't see you But with every passing day I feel you I've heard its phantom limb You always were a part of me So connected We functioned as one. I still sleep Tangled in your arms I still eat With your fingers Tracing my skin You haunt me Every moment Every day

Haunting
I swear Last night As I lay awake You sighed With satisfaction From the kitchen Where we used to drink it all in. I swear This morning As I lost myself to work Covered in paint Swimming in words Lost at a pen's tip Your hands Toyed with my hair Your lips Caressed my neck. I swear You're here I can't see you But with every passing day I feel you I've heard its phantom limb You always were a part of me So connected We functioned as one. I still sleep Tangled in your arms I still eat With your fingers Tracing my skin You haunt me Every moment Every day
