Shaking Chill

Sometimes I feel happiness
Only when I am occupied
But when I am alone
My body begins to reminisce
I can feel your arms slowly creep across my back
Your embrace warming my soul
You tell me, "I love you."
"I love you too."
But you are not there. I am forever haunted.
Like an abandoned building, no one wants to come inside. I am filled with phantoms and demons. I am falling apart.
Your ghost walks through me, running their fingers up and down the walls, I walk behind you up a flight of stairs.
I still see your face looking back at me as we giggled, together, holding hands.
I was so in love with you.
I'd rather cry for another year than to forget.
The memory is what loves me.
My palms have memory. My mouth has memory. The memory of you. Every part of my body will never forget. My heart will never forget.
I am in love with a person you've left behind. You will never be them ever again.
My lover has been long dead.
I grieve for them. Every night my body grieves.
You will never love me.
