Taunt

Loving you

Was like

Bathing

In the liquid gold 

Spilling from

Sun to sea

And when you held me

It was with a whisper

That if only 

You could hold me tight enough

Maybe 

Just maybe

You could squash 

My broken pieces

Back together

Again

And fix 

My shattered

Soul 

And schizophrenic wanderings

With a single love potion

To overdose on 

Or grow addicted to 

But my salvation morphed 

Into morphine shots

My painkillers killed

And my pain fled free

And now I stand, shot

With one last shot

With no sun balm

For my sunburns

And no relief

Of arms and lips and touch

When nightmares haunt me

And I am haunted 

By my own screams

And now I must

Shut out your ghost

And pack away 

Those things you stole from me

And with empty boxes

And minds

We ghost forward

Shadowing ourselves

Too scared to scream

Very nice...a clever write.
We are all mad....some cosmic joke demands that we all be mad..insane...

Enjoyed this.
