when love ends

[nevadasky]

I lay in the impression your
body once made in our bed and
wonder how long the
pillow
will remain warm

the silence only makes me hear
you more
as the dark weight of the
hours
drag behind
me

our bed burns of love no more
as I ponder a jealous heart
with a will to know

who will be tasting that rich
body of yours
now

like a mad woman staring into
her secrets
I seek to know how long I will
remain a hope
junkie

the slam of the door doesn't
abate my hunger for you
even knowing my begging letter
has fallen upon uncaring
eyes

living becomes a stranger as I
cling to remembering
what day it used to
be

every room I walk into is vacant
as I desperately try to save
myself from daggars
drawn
quick to show a just
revenge

I know now I'm hard to hear
still clear to see that
when you left

you administered the lash
and I ended up eating
the bitter bread
of banishment
