The Thought of You

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

Your ghost still haunts me;

my dreams are filled with you.

 

Some days I wake up 

and it's like 

you never left.

 

Then I remember and

all the emotions 

come flooding back.

 

Maybe I'll never get over you;

maybe a wedding ring

doesn't erase you.

 

Maybe I haven't healed yet,

but one day I will. 

 

All I know is

I can't keep living

with you hanging over me. 

 

You're like a noose

choking me with your memory.

 

I'm struggling for air,

fighting the thought of you.

 

I just want to be free of this scab

that never goes away

no matter how hard I scratch.
