Scar

lovers who have fallen, lost in the waves beaten and bloody for eternity

 

I don’t want to remember  

Why are you here? 

Awakened me from a dream

Held all my fears

 

You crush me against you

Your chest hard, firm

As though you expect me

To sit still, and not squirm 

 

Well, you’re right

I will, so I do

Because I’m so sick

From loving you

 

I will not go quietly

And one things for sure

I’m done being compliant

And your own personal chauffeur 

 

I smell your cologne

As it stings my mind

Burns my nose

As we lay hooked, dangerously entwined

 

Why did you come

When I stopped calling

Lying in wait

Hidden, surviving off a last baited breath, and stalling

 

Or so you say

I don’t believe you

Now that I have

I know it’s all not true

 

Except, perhaps

The feelings I have, let loose to run rampant

And spiteful in rage

Though under false pretenses

The marks are still on my heart

Engraved

 

Leave while you can

Don’t linger by the door

 

Its open

So walk

 

Before I break your legs

And you fall to the floor

 

You know what I wanted

You gave me it all

Never once faltered

Never failed to enthrall

 

Now were in too deep

And I’m drowning

I can’t breathe

 

You’re dragging me down

And we fall

Farther and farther     

 

Will we ever get out?

Or will all be a blur

 

So it begins

Our journey as fallen

Caught in the tides

Of repetition, crashing waves and murmurs calling  

 

Death....  

 

You’re too heavy

I cannot hold on

Lift you to the heavens

Where lovers belong

 

I must let go….

Oh, how painful, how wrong

So desperate I’ve become

Lost without you, deaf to your song

 

Now you’re gone

 

Separated for eternity

Fallen far

You’re the one

My broken heart's bloody wound

 

One and only scar  

 

My love....

in good graces to the end

"I smell your cologneAs it stings my mind" I really liked this mind. When we are around someone, we remember certain things about them. The thought that "Stings your mind" is powerful. I enjoyed reading your poem. ks.
