Pain

The sound I hear when I open my mouth
to whisper your name.

The way my fingers bleed at night
to touch you once again.

The bitter curse I swallow back
when I think about that day.

The perfume I still recall
while the memories start to fade.

The face that haunts my sleep
the tears that sting my face.
