One more picture
Of you in my head
And I'm afraid
I'll go insane.
Why do you
Haunt me like
An insatiable specter?
Why can't you just
Leave me be?
The urge to have you
Is ever-present,
An immortal piece
Of human nature,
Like the need for
Water, or air.
It's funny how
My soul screams for you
As I lie awake at night,
Receiving no comfort
From the pillow beneath me.
I see you everyday,
And the wounds within
My heart never heal,
As my body aches to
Embrace you, trace your
Face with my hands and eyes.
Even as I try my damnedest
To forget your existence,
You always reappear
In the black recesses
Of my tired mind.
Just leave me,
I beg you, for
I can't take this pain
A moment longer.
Make me let go of you,
Love, and let me
Live again.
