i stay chasing spectrums of red wine
splattered across white rugs
and messy lipstick stains
streaking collar bones.
i stay chasing the rush of new lovers
that fill my bed long enough
to make me forget
but never long enough
to keep me from remembering
i stay chasing pain
pain that blinds
me with its darkness
because its better
to hurt than to feel
nothing at all
i stay chasing your silhouette
crashing my feet down
onto fleeting pavement
hoping to gather your
pieces before they float
into the darkness of the night
i stay chasing your light
because since you left
***shadows are the only things
that remain***
