4- Underneath My Fingernails



I still feel you
On my skin
Underneath my fingernails
From when I loved you
Deeply

I still feel your kiss
On my lips
And your breath within
My lungs
From before you turned
To ash

I crave you
Like I crave ice cream
On a hot summer day
Longingly
With only a memory of how
It once was
But is no longer the same

I search for you
In every store
And on the street
Praying you
Haven't found her
And you look for me

But as bitter as a memory
Can be
All I see
Is the sweet
And in that
I still feel you
As half of me.
