Sense Memory

I can't shake the thought of you

The frisson of your kiss

Or the petrichor that lingered

In the air between our lips

The echoes of your touch

Still sends sparks up my spine

Every sense is filled with you

All of it just clings

To my heart and mind

Coats my soul

Soiling all the chances

Of my moving on from you

Spoiling all attempts

At getting over you

The memories won't let me

Let go of it all

I can’t come out of mourning

When I don’t know

What went wrong

Without an answer

To the questions haunting me

I am just left sifting

Through all my memories

Trying to find a clue

A way to banish you

From underneath my skin
