Lingers

About someone I keep dreaming about..

Your touch that always seems so real,

My body endlessly craving to feel;

Yet yearning my heart to heal.

 

Consciously knowing this is not what I want,

Yet the dreams you still playfully haunt.

Lingers like your breath, tickling my ear.

Just waiting for you; I want to hear.

 

Though vengeance trickles through my veins.

Pulsing with every waking pain; I’m so ashamed.

 

And when your face finally fades away,

That uninvited touch remains to stay.

Reminding me you’re not entirely forgotten,

When the darkness surrounds me and then,

 

Here we go again.
