My memories are like snow flakes
Melting away with the sun.
In my dreams you are like a mirage to my reality.
Always howling my name yet you are never in the vicinity.
If I look at the nook and cranny of the earth
You freshly sweet smiles smells like the toxic taste of lavender

I'm haunted!
By your absence in my stone cold heart!
If I remember the sadness of living in your smiles.
It sets my emotions ablaze.
And keeps​ me insanely dazed

I'm haunted!
to know no peace,
And to watch my achy heart increase.
To look at the sweetness of the clouds but not touch it!
To see the green-ness of the grass!
But condemned to weep tears heavy as brass!

I'm haunted!
Like a werewolf on a full moon!
Like a criminal waiting to die so soon!
I'm condemned to wait for your kiss!
If only I could live gla thousand years!

I'm haunted!
It was love but now I'm taunted!
I went to war against lust.
And I counted my casualties.
I was caught by the arrows of Cupid!
Forever to remain stupid!
Hoping one day you would kiss away my foolishness

Note

This is a poem that talks about the toxic side to either a broken marriage or a broken relationship. It uses a lot of metaphors and smiles to put the poem in a very interesting angle to read.
