Your name

Your name still lingers

around my throat, itching

for my vocals to chant your

name out like you were never 

missing in the first place, my 

mind a wonderland of emotions

each emotion pushing me closer

to the deadliest illness which is 

your love.

You carried a persona, a wheelbarrow 

of lies, a backpack of baits you created 

the camp inside my heart, made yourself

at home while you watched me quaver 

to your every command, your lips tasting 

like the sweetest lemon and your voice

sounding so heavenly that I praised the 

words you created, the way your tongue 

rolled whilst forming the words "I love you",

made me feel like no man will be able 

to curve those words like you.

I chose the grisly Apple from the tree,

the apple I thought to be complete, the

apple that held so much potential, yet 

presented itself to be the ripest, for it to

only have been the most repulsive taste.

Your name will always linger, your memory 

will always wonder abouts in this empty room,

your name will always find its way back to me, 

no matter how hard I try, your name will roll

back into my mind, into my day like a fly that 

just won't go away.

But you will go away, I happen to hold an extra can of

fly spray for special occasions.

I enjoyed this read, I love the meaning behind this poem.
Some people you know are bad for you, but there like a drug and you can't stop going back.
I loved the ending made me laugh.
Well written keep on writing :)
