Until I forget you

Until I forget you

A Poem by Erika

You will be invited to my wedding,
A chair will be reserved for you
In th front row,
Even though I know
You won't make it
In time for the vows.

You moved out,
Without packing your bags.
Took the train,
Terminus to the Above.
Left quietly,
Without a goodbye.

Your soul
Wanders the garden,
Under the moonlight,
When the world is alseep
Looking for you 
In an altered consciousness.

You always knew 
What to say,
How to make
My lips sway.
Your laugh has gone quiet,
The world has been silent.

I loved you an alcoholic
I never wish to be sober
OF you.
Your touch has been me an addict
You're a drugs off the market.

You're slipping away
From my fingers
I'm chasing after you,
Don't go any further
We are running down the streets
It's a game
Of cat and mouse.

I ran until I fell,
Breathless.
I cried until I could't,
Helpless.
I'm lost in a forest of despair
How many scars do I have to spare?

I am a shell
A shadow
A drunken sailor.
without you,
I am lost at sea.
Without you,
I will never know glee.

rain pours
From the falling sky
Water washes
Over me,
I am nothing
But your temporary art.

In my heart,
Was planted a knife,
Teach me how to sew skin,
I'll never stop bleeding.

I can't move
My body goes numb
Grief is love
Stuck in shallow
Waters.
Freeze my heart,
Bury it in snow.

I watched my life run 
Out the window
It was tired of living in your shadow
I never tried to stop it from leaving
A life without you
Isn't worth living.

The flowers i brought to your grave
Are dying.
I'm sorry,
I haven't been visiting.
It tears my heart to honor your death
My delusion
Is all I have left.

I'll carve your name
In my skin.
Make perfume
Out of your smell
On your old T-shirts
You won't die
Until I forget you.

A picture
A letter
And your sweater,
Put them in a box
And save them for later

Maybe when my heart
Won't ache
And my eyes
Will dry,
I'll smile,
Never cry,
 At the thought
Of you and I.
