remains

Close your eyes 

and let me sip 

the dregs  

of our love 

from your lips.

Ill try to believe 

its the heady wine 

of yesterday. 

Hold tight me 

til the last 

remains are squeezed free 

and ill act as though 

i am filled again. 

 

Rest your head 

on my breast 

and 

lets pretend 

this is hello and 

not goodbye again.

ah love slowly fades from red to black....nice poem Crystal! :)

With the last line my entire view had changed, at first I felt the yearning for how things were but with the last line it almost seemed as though the narrator and the subject had a past where things had already ended and they just keep seeming to find each other "this is hello, and not goodbye again". Lovely poem.

Thank you. Yeah i was inspired by a story i have read about a couple that married then split, but no matter how they tried they were linked and always seems to return, and although they knew it was a mistake and would end they needed the lie more than the reality .

A beautiful poem, i look forward to reading more from you:)

A nostalgic kind of write, a little bit melancholic as this love is temporary and tomorrow may not be.

I was thinking more of the end of a relationship and two people not willing to realize it. Thank you for your review!

Crystal, This is a very sweet and touching write, penned with the softest love in your heart and in your words. If you just made this whole thing up I give you great credit, but I'm thinking it's written with someone in particular as the subject; if so that is one warmly loved person. Beautiful. take care...dan

Thank you Dan. I often write from the relationships i see, a way to understand those around me.
