The first week after a break-up

by Bexx   Jul 31, 2007


Please forgive me
for my heart still beats in rhythm with yours
and as soon as I forget your scent
our breaths will no longer be in tandem
I will be able to sleep without you
in a matter of minutes
because I am exhausted
from running circles with you
for years
and from that my body has picked up patterns
that I will soon forget
Hoping I won't forget
the things that used to mean
the world to me
and in daydreams
I lick my lips
hoping I can still taste your kiss
but I can't bring myself to remember it
but you chase away sleep
with memories I can't shake
I am now finding
discomfort in being full
because I am trying to purge you from my system
and I am using Maybelline as a mask
to hide my tears
that you have caused
and for some reason
I still wish
I could feel you just one more time
while our hearts are still beating together
While we can still breathe each other in
effortlessly
While we still have time
to mold each others bodies
I remember what it felt like
fingers laced
wrapping arms around bodies
pulling ourselves into one
please forgive me
for abusing your memory
