One Last Caress

I rip up your photo in a final attempt
To get you out of my head,
But with each rip
I feel my insides tearing.
Why can I not remove you
From my thoughts?
Why can I not detangle myself
From your web of deceit?
Why can my heart not forget you
And what we once had?
It's those blue eyes
That shine so mischievously;
That gentleman's charm
That you possess.
It keeps me hanging on
Just incase you call me over
One last time.
A last caress from the corpse of Love
Is all I want.
And so I keep waiting,
Keep hoping,
Keep dreaming,
Keep falling.
Why do you still taunt me
With this hope?
You know all it takes is a wink
And I melt.
You have me
Eating out of your hand,
And you've made sure the food is tainted,
Poisoned,
Addictive,
Deadly.
I cannot get you out of my head.
My heart still aches for you.
So invite me over
One last time,
Because all I want
Is a final caress
From your corpse, my love.
