Deteriorating

Your memory tattooed all over my broken body,

Hiding scars and self-mutilation.

Your face haunts the hallows of my torn heart,

Leaving behind faint streaks of redemption.

Your voice echoes in the chambers of my very existence,

Waking up and tearing down my barriers

Like a ghost, you manifest yourself in every fibre of my being

Reminding me why I made you my heart's eternal carrier

Your touch forever lingers on my skin and I shudder

I can feel your presence all around me

Your love has never forsaken me, even through deep and troubled waters

You're the only reason I haven't given up on me
