I remember feeling you breath as though my own lungs were vigorously working for your life.
Washing my hands with the same trained tenderness in which I held your face, delicately.
Now the water is burning my skin, scalding hot to erase my finger's memories of your touch.
I am not careful to look both ways before crossing the highway, I am not wearing mittens as I reach my hand into the 400* oven.
I am aflicted, heart clenching tight into knots.
A fist of revelation pounds from my insides, YOU FOOL.
YOU FOOL.
pity.
Every breath that I attempt to choke down tastes of you, bitter, sour, yet addictive.
You linger on my lips, begging my tongue to make a move, taste you, taste the ash of what is burned, demolished.
No.
I cannot even see, blink back the memories long enough to function.
You're a damn curse.
