Your presence stings me..

You are lost in your thoughts

Of yesterday of tomorrow,

You are strayed in the places

Of darkness and you cringe

To see a morrow.

 

Adrift, you lie here

Forgetful of my presence,

You pretend to be beguiled

With a smile I fake

As you miss my every said sentence.

 

The times you drugged me

Your sip of care and affection,

Addictive to your touch

As you fondled my lips and hair

And your showcase of overprotection.

 

The nights we stayed up

Your eyes fixed on mine,

Endless talks and giggles I cherish

With a heart pounding inside, I thought

You and I, forever this spark will shine.

 

Your absence corroded me then

And now a matter of peace

Of familiarity, of belongingness and loved,

I recreate the memories of what you were

For your presence is what stings me now.
