Pieces of You Everywhere

( PIECES OF YOU EVERYWHERE ) Melancholy as a child mourning the death of a pet, I stood looking At the pillow Where we lain. Little white flakes fell from your head, landing there. How gross that I set my silk in it. Grosser still; I chewed your old gum And liked the taste of your mouth still on it. Nostalgia fills my brain With the smell of desire. With the smell of a vanilla candle. Found your writing on my wall. The ink still smeared By your big fingers Waving out your goodbye. Crushing my innocent, loving, heart. I want it all back. Before the meeting. My eyes so bright like the sun's smile. You would still be just a voice. Now you are stuck in my tears forever. (c) Jasmine Paul 11-20-2014
