Gone

It's cold The night air Stinging my skin And It burns me chills me Simultaneously Brings me back Am I still standing here.. Am I still waiting..? It's coming back to me Flooding back really And I wish I could slow it all down Stop every single Neuron Every syaptic response Just make it stop Just make it...stop I can still feel her See her Smell her hair Her perfume And every molecule of me Clinging ever so tightly To the memory of her Tightly to her scent Engrained in my nostrils I close my eyes And I cant help it I see her I smile at her And a tear fights its way down My ever so cold cheeks She's talking She always had the most awesome teeth The most beautiful face I look at her and every touch Every kiss stolen from her Every word crafted To capture her ever so elusive heart Every unsheltered moment of passion...of perversions we so wholeheartedly indulged Fills every nook every cranny that is my grey matter I remember it like its the first time All of it a-new Her walk, her smile, her touch I revel in the memory I would live in that memory I would give anything to meet her again For the first time To see her walk toward me Smile at me, say all the words We loved to say Just once more..to feel I can make out her words now But I wish I couldn't I try to drown it out I try to hide in the Crevices of my mind But the memory finds me And this is happening Every word Every syllable Breaks a piece of me And burns me Yet still I remember every minute Every bloody second Every scorching syllable and consonant I can't fight it I can't slow it I can't stop it.. And I can't...I just cant.. I want it to stop I want her to just smile and say It's all going to be okay Just once more So so badly once more To hear her voice once more To touch her face just once more Feel her presence Look at that blank expression She used to give me and laugh A happy laugh a contented laugh..just once more But its done....she's gone she left me here and She's gone..

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
