Lingering Suffocation

By Defallene Engel

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

It's a wonder why feelings still lingerIt's been months since I talked to youBut I can still hear your voiceIt's been ages since you treated meThe way you always use toBut I'm still hoping you'll come aroundEven the season is starting to changeThe sun is still shiningBut the leaves are changing coloursAnd breaking free of their treesBut these feelings will never drift awayWrapped around me like a warm blanketThat will probably suffocate meAnd even as the snow will start to fallMelting against my still warm skinI won't stop thinking about youTry as I might, feelings always lingerAs the flakes would linger on the blanketForever imprinted on a pinpoint of spaceLove...lingers...and I wonder why...
