veil

i should forget you.

i must forget you

because my soul

has drowned

in yours.

from the day you left

i do not know peace.

i do not hear the waves

or the birds

and the forest’s whisper.

i hear your voice

in my head

telling me all that i have

always yearned to know.

you lick my ear s l o w l y

and the sky lights up.

i am covered in a veil of stars.

i drink your light

like a love potion

and your eyes

shine like suns.

you thread your fingers

through mine

and i let you

complete me.

i will never be whole again

and the sky will hang with clouds.

forget you.

but my soul says no.
