Ghost Pains

Have I

            told you before

                    of what it’s like alone

                                sleeping in my bed at night?

                                When you are absent I ache

                       my muscles searching

           for the warmth

of you.

                                                              Have I

                                               showed you my

                                     tears from in the night

                              clinging to the smell of you.

                              I lie on your pillow gripping

                                  desperate at the sheets

                                           wishing time pass

                                                              faster.

Have I

      told you my

               biggest fear of all

               Its simple but big

          It’s to lose my

                                                                         Love.

                                                                    It’s

                                                                         you.

             Have you

                     Ever heard me

                               whisper into your ear

                                          in the darkness of the night?

                                        when you're so close to me

                                 your face relaxed, I say

                    into your sleep

             I love you.

                                                              Have we

                                                       spoken about

                                          living our happily ever

                          now instead of waiting to after?

                            I couldn’t bear wait for so long

                                        to be with you 'till then

                                                        shall we just

                                                             live now?

     Have I

               Ever told you

                                                                            about the ghost pains

                                                                            I feel inside of my heart

                                                                            when you aren't with

                                                                            me at night?

                                                                            It burns

                                                                            my

                                                                      Soul.

          Do you

                        remember all of

                                 those times that I said

                                           I was better off dead to you?

                                           And you hushed my tears off

                              and held me close to

                your beating

       Heart?

                                                               Can you

                                                         forgive me if

                                                    I told you that I

                                    was to leave you with the

                                  ghost pains of the memory

                                              of myself you have

                                                          and float to

                                                                eternal

                                                             nothing?

                     my heart is slowing

           but I won't go

                                                                     until

   I say

                                                                    I love

you.
