My last goodbye....

For years now

I’ve held you

In my hands.

Felt you,

On my fingers.

Felt your touch

On these lips.

Kissed and tasted

Your fragile frame.

My emotions afire,

In my room unlit,

Sat alone with you.

Feeling your warmth.

You were always

So close to me

For years running,

Like does my blood

Through my now purple veins.

But I leave you now

Love, for my love,

Three more days

Though you’d still be here,

 I’d see you with men,

Be they strange or known,

Cause for years now,

I’ve known,

You had no soul,

Never a heart,

And I’ll move on,

To a likeness of you,

Another fake face,

To fake another love,

Though there would still be smoke,

But I’d have doused the fire,

I’m through with those stains,

For years spent together,

For all the love I had,

I’ve but to offer,

My last goodbye....
