Lingering

The loves that lost or lingers on to tempt fair heart with faintest song. The small remnants of primal pain that rise and rise over again. Seeking so to immerse absorb the core of oneness ego’s formed. One is whole sum yet two can tear many fine souls hold out in fear. Loves reward when shared by two teeters on a knifes edge of cold blue. We hold hands with broken fingers torn and grasping lovers linger.
