Late Nights Remind Me of Him

Late Nights Remind Me of Him

Late nights remind me of him
Like the pale touch of his lips
Running over my skin
And the odd fascination
I had
Have
Of his childlike grin
As he tickled me while
The tickling meant more
And every swift movement
Made my insides soar
And every breath felt like heaven
And hell – fire and ice
Oh! It felt nice.

And the rain of his whispers
As he told me he cared
As he took ahold
And took me there!

All this I think
as I stare blank ahead
All this I know
while lonely in bed
All this is gone
Because what she said
All this I thought
But all this is naught

It is over
It is done
I am lonely
She has won
Where is life
Love? Happiness? Fear?
Is it inside?
Linger it here?

Late nights remind me of him
Like the whisper of the ocean
The brush of air on skin
Late nights remind me to think of him
Late nights remind me I am without him
Late nights remind me I am alone
Late nights spent lonely, lonely at home.
