Hard to let go

My mind tucked you away, my body tried to forget and be holy. yet my hands could draw you blind my fingers carried your body like crime Your fingerprints tattooed all over my skin. to keep the memory of you drunk I drink like I’m saving the world from drowning, my body keeps reminding me of your secrets I wear so carelessly. I remember the last i love you that refuses to leave my body, smeared all over my skin like sin. -AsiveNM.

My mind tucked

you away, my body

tried to forget

and be holy.

yet my hands

could draw you blind

my fingers carried your

body like crime

Your fingerprints

tattooed all over my skin.

to keep the memory

of you drunk

I drink like I’m saving

the world from drowning,

my body keeps reminding

me of your secrets

I wear so carelessly.

I remember the last i love you

that refuses to leave my body,

smeared all over my skin like sin.
