Embrace You

Embrace You

A Poem by Julius Whitfield

I've been but a ghost in your arms, besotted in a way, and indolent enough to stay. Playing the nescient with eyes that haven't awaken me, nothing to brush the dimness away, phlegmatic to revel in this pain. I sit beside you, glorying in the color of your eyes, losing myself among this beguile. Have I disregarded the way I used to love being wrapped between your thighs as I'm nothing but a memory beside you. I know, oh god I know I'll never again be close enough to embrace you...

Tonight, I can't bring you any comfort when I'm the one cold and afraid, awaiting this day will go, and you'll finally move along. With some stipulation that you won't relinquish me, these fears will fade away, but i don't think i'll be welcomed with that day. I wonder if you recognize the times that our eyes connect everyday that you brush your hair. Did you recognize me as I ran my arms down the contour as you cried in the shower. I know, oh god, i know I'll never again be close enough to embrace you.

I've been but a ghost in your arms, not ignorant to how it hurts now that you're gone. Can I recognize how well your body helped me when I felt all of my hope dying inside me. Now, I'm stuck with knowing you memory as you lie with the red water covering up your dead body. Slit wrists and broken promises. I know, oh god, i know I'll never be the same without you. i know, oh god, i know, i'll never be close enough to embrace you.
