Separation

by

entry picture

 Over and over and over again

 
Over and over and over again
Thoughts of you  
Send shivers through the core of me
I want to wrap myself around you 
Dance and twirl 
To the music in my heart
Over and over and over again
Hot tears cascade
I repeat your name 
The familiar mantra
Filling my head
Killing me slowly
Over and over and over again
I wear your sweater
Inhale you
Taste you
Feel the agony of separation 
Stealing time and comfort
Over and over and over  again

This is lovely but sounds like it should be set to music.
