Shadows-
They lurk in the dark night.
Your presence-
It never leaves.
I bite back my own heart-wrenching sobs-
The pain won’t go away.
Seeing your face across my eyelids-
I know I am not okay.
And out of nowhere-
The memories.
They haunt me like a ghost that can’t go let go.
Your cologne?
It’s everywhere, on everyone,
A scent my heart will never forgive.
Nightmares-
They never actually stopped.
My lover-
He soothes me, heals me with each passing day.
But You-
Can’t you please just go away?
Out of site- out of heart;
But so hard to get out of my mind.
