Remnants

by Con Gkekas

Entering timidly into an empty home

the scent of you lingers still, permeating breath

i melt with the knowledge of losing you

your memory still burns, it sickens my soul

i cannot stand this nightly journey of death

tell me where would i find the courage to face you again

every night, lava filled tears are cried

how i betrayed love sears my heart

my eyes lifting to the heavens high above my hades

twin glasses upon this tabletop

life continues with games of mirth

i drink from each a burning flame

however, how can i find salvation

the tears through flesh slicing diamond paths

blinding me as i deserve to be blinded

i plead to the full moon above me

how can i find the strength to face the past

the orbital discus above holding remnants of what was lived

what was said

what was lost

a friendship

a love

a passion

a dream

a remnant within the moon

this hits me in both the solar and lunar plexes. your memory still burns, it sickens my soul, I identify with that line still, I live with it daily.
