Short poem inspered by The Amber Spyglass by Phillip Pullman. Enjoy!
Your smell lingers
Phantom footsteps haunt my mind
Your silhouette darkens my wall
I feel your feathery touch
Only to realize I gave you up
Your voice whispers in my ear
Languishing me with soft spoken words of nothingness
But your hot moist breath is only a reverie
I left you but you just won't go away
I feel myself drowning
Pulled under by the massive waves of your emotion
Seconds pass then it's gone
I ran but you just can't stay away
Your imaginary hands unravel me
Soft lips brush mine like rose hips
Your ethereal presence tormenting my scenes
I gave you up to save the world
Why can't I let you go?
