Fancy Man

Fancy Man

Eyes flutter closed 
the strangest peace falls
Phantom fingers stroke softly through strands
fickle fingers 
How I miss them
I wouldn't  trade a single second of that joy 
I just wish I didn't still hurt so much
Im sorry fancy man
 I just can’t seem to stop loving you
And it's killing me 

Sip by sip 
Day by day 
Thoughts of you grow in my chest 
I can’t release them
They eat me up and tear me through and through
They are thorough little beasties  
I am left blissfully empty for a time
I heard your voice 
I forgot how much I loved the sound
it killed a small part me
I wish you hadn't said a word
My eyes drawn to the shiny surface of that stupid rock
I just can't bring myself to get rid of it

The gravity of pain in this is so heavily conveyed. Your imagery rises to the surface forcing the reader to really take notice and feel the loss that these well penned words manifest. It is never easy feeling such a loss. Dido white flag is so fitting. I hope writing helps x
