When I think of you
I close my eyes
& see your warm smile
an inch away from my face/
I close my eyes
to remember your scent
your fingers in my hair
the sun’s rays causing
your skin to shimmer
like diamonds floating in the sea/
i recall your happy moments
the way you hug
the way you tell me about your talk
with your mother//
I soak it in
like a dry dirty forgotten sponge.
Like you’re water
and I, a fish
like you’re the poison
and me the next suicide.
like you’re heaven and me
the darkness of the night
like you’re the pot of gold
but I’m the rain
like you are alive
and me just playing dead
like you are love
and the last goodbye.
