close your eyes,
imagine me next to you
we did brush,
yeah, i felt you shiver
did you feel me tremble?
lean a bit more
so you could breathe me in
the scent you used to love,
does it still have
the same effect on you?
are you tempted?
do i make your skin crawl?
did i succeed in leaving
traces of me everywhere you turn to?
i whispered in your ear,
did you hear me lament
on how much i and
my lonely bed miss you?
how my arms feel all too cold
without you wrapped in them?
we used to be able
to make believe the world doesn't exist
i should've known
it would be easier for you
to pretend that i don't

our secret smiles,
my lips miss
your delicate fingertips
i feel a slight taste
of bile in my tongue,
the bitterness claims me,
makes me feel nauseous
i used to make you wild,
i was sin personified
do you regret everything
we ever did, ever said, ever thought about?

i walk past you
i am fervently wishing
you'd reach out
stop me from fleeing
one word from you
and i would've stopped
but i know you can't. . .

not when she's still holding your hand
