Drenched

Don't dry yourself off cause you're drenched in me

Don't think of me as 'past tense'...I want to be all you see

I constantly feel like I'm being left behind

Please don't try to push me to the back of your mind.

Clouded with feelings that I can't define,

I tried to ignore the emotion inside.

I might be worse off now than I was before

I'm suddenly needing you more and more.

An emptiness aches from the void deep within

Don't know if I will ever see you again.

A feeling of despair Gnaws at my flesh...

Abrasions and lost words is all I've got left.

So I'm wringing myself out to get rid of you

Trying to forget all the feelings I've grown accustomed to.

So far unsuccessful, it is so hard to do

....slowly realizing that I'm drenched in you.

This had the feel of spoken word - performance poetry... a good taste to the tones and rhythm

Its true how in sync we get when you are in a relationship...moving on is always hard but necessary...time heals all pain. Lovely write.

SO true and Thank you!

You are very welcome, Malerie!

Drenched in liquid fire, it would seem. There is the hunger to devour another and to swallow them completely within you. Once done, it is nearly impossible to separate yourself from his or her soul ever again. Fiercely elequent. xo

I love how you phrased that. Thank you very much!
