Without A trace

Bookmark
HomeUncategorizedWithout A trace

A clinging scent of shampoo ghosting like the whisper
of a lover who left without a trace, not the heavy musk
of perfume, not the sting of cologne, but something
softer, something that gnaws at the bone.

Lingering in the hollows where your head once lay,
a breath that won’t fade away, but rhyme is a thief
greedy for the aches beneath death’s insomnia now
fading into tangled sheets

Now haunting me with Selsun blue dissolving
down the porcelain drain of love I can’t erase
remembering the laughs now turning to dust
