I printed your poem out on thin sheets of paper and spread them out around me so i could be surrounded by your words
My mind became clouded with your thoughts and my thoughts and my thoughts of you and the swirling constant memories that followed
Like the image of your hair and the soft way you pulled it back from your face exposing your eyes and extremely long eyelashes fluttered before me like butterflies and i wrapped myself up in them expanding my lungs as full as they could go allowing every pore to be overwhelmed and full with traces of you
The sound of your voice sang whispered melodies planting soft kisses at the base of my neck the way your lips and your tongue used to and I felt my fingers begin to linger in places your breath once called its own
I can feel your lips softly inching a path along the trail of my spine and you would pause, collecting the beads of sweat that collected here
and then there
drinking them down as though they would save your life
Then you breathed, deep, sucking in every single piece of me leaving me helpless standing on bended knee completely open, raw, honest, free unable to find the words of my own so i used yours
The magnetism of your words freezes my ability to speak coherently
But it sets my free
Allowing me the space to explore the complexities you make so simple and i stare blankly at the space where your back used to be and gather the pages of your words
press them close to the empty piece of me you long since ripped out and stole and find myself breathless and helpless underneath the weight of your words
