Petals (and other frail things)

MERCY -07/12/2016-

i

As I lay shivering

Seeking the covers of your warmth

Your body creasing my matress

Your rythmic breath

Fades away into the dark.

Same as every night I guess.

ii

Problem is, see

I can't dissociate my dreams

From my memories.

Were you ever there at all ?

I cannot remember, not now.

Not after this.

But then again,

I digress.

iii

Will this feeling ever cess ?

I plead for mercy,

Please, please, please,

Fill the hole

Shaped like your name

Left carved in

My now empty heart

iv

I'll stop now.

For my own sake,

Of course; Yours does not matter.

Not anymore.

Not after this.
