Yes it lingers
Still doThe memories we had
The bond we sharedThe effect your words had
Over the blisters of my soulIt never ceases to amaze me
How you placed your hand on my eyesHow you whispered those words
They effectively stopped my fibbling mindI was a rose blooming; yours to keep
You were the pillar; holding my skySome distant yet precious
I learned to adore you so muchOur castle
Our unicornOur love
Our dreamsWe were the magical two
We were the golden twinsEven lost in daily rut
I knew someone as strong as sky was holding my worldI never wanted to speak about this
But insistence is yours I will deliverSo brace your heart
And hear me outRemember the day you left
I was at your feet beggingI had a knife there right in my gut
You overlooked walked awayKeeping yourself
Throwing away usI said I never thought ill of you
I didnt I kept doing usRegardless of everytime I was hurting
I choose to color your instaI wished to ease your pain
I subsided myself to understand youI loved us
Why was love made punishment for meBut the knife that was in my gut that day
One that was left unattendedPoisoned my soul
Stained through my heartCorrupted my mind
Brought haunting shadowsSo the rose you loved
Wilted without its nurturerYou hear those shadows laughing
You see those eyes followingI hope you do
I hope you know thisThe cuddling warm teddy made of love
Broke into thousand piecesAgain it's not your fault
Your eyes were shielded with griefI understand you
But will you understand meI hid myself in shadows
I lost the capacity to loveI lost the confidence in me who I was
Now just shadows shadows everywhereI subsided myself
I stopped talking with myselfYes it lingers
The pain of who I wasThe pain of whom I am not anymore
The pain of being walked onBut you know
What hurts moreThe haunting shadows
That burned through meThat laugh on us
My mind has been in piecesWho was me?
Who are you?What us we had?
Why its worthed to love?The reason I dont talk is them
They washed away everything we hadI am left with nothing in silence
You see this frenzy this hurt this confusionCan you see it
Can you silence themI dont speak
People make me afraidI dont breathe in light
Humanity brings chaos to my mindPlace your hand on my heart
Sense that little girl locked up in her roomFearful of outside world
Crying on the loss of everythingThe one who had everything
But is crying over because she feels like she have been left with nothingLingering smiles
Lingering good timesCan you make her belief with same sense of belonging
That love and people arent monsters whom hurtThat she can exist
That she can laughThat she can live
That her touch doesnt break anythingThat she has same right
To be loved held and cherishedNot some
To be thrown awayLike human race did
Can you make her feel safeLike you once did
When she lost pearlyIf you can
Only then come to meOtherwise leave me lingering
I will accept my fate in darknessDont think I blame you
Never I understand griefI am just expressing my mind
Since you asked for itIf you cant it's fine
If silly childish rose fadedGive Romi time to heal then
May be one day she can come backTo nurturer her kingdom
To fulfill her purpose as Aharon© Romi Aharon
