linger ~

You're a whirl in the smoke, 

like those clouds that don't last.

those shapeless seems of white-grey patterns,

that you want should mean something.

but they don't;

You're the smoke because you stay on

in the head

long after,

I've blown you out.

you're infectious like that;

you're not here and yet you are

in meaningless things,

wordless phrases,

distant memories

and subtle thoughts.

I want to drown you with a drink,
i want to escape you somehow

because you know just when i'll trip

and i'm not sure

you'll catch me this time;

Your grasp on me,

never too tight,

was the perfect type of right.

Your breath on my neck,

and molten words,

on my skin;

You spin me around.

You always did.

you look at me,

gaze right down to the core.

pierce me;

In your arms,

i fit.

In your hugs,

i collapse.

forever;

Always and forever,

True love and eternity,

Soul mates and happily everafters,

I believe in none

and yet, I believe in them all;

You make me believe

and then take it all away,

the faith.

and leave me heartbroken with just few things,

the longing, the wait;

and with one last drag.

I wish I could exhale you.

but you stay on,

as always.

linger..
