Afterwards

By expressodreams

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Biting my lips, but your kiss tastes better than blood. Salting my wounds, but the pain you left me overwhelms. Wind in the trees, sighing... but all I hear is your voice. Dreams inside can't replace the expression on your face, the one I never saw. I'm still holding my breath, is there any hope left? It's far too sunny out there, the peaceful snow melted. There's nothing left to drown in. I miss your eyes, deeper than any ocean.i know it's dull and sappy, but I had to get that out of my system.
