Dead to me
I speak your name. You lay still and rotten.
The perfume of the flowers you hold have been forgotten.
Your skin is discolored, though its softness lingers,
I cannot stroke your hair lest it cling to my fingers.
Your eyes are darkened and unsupported.
Your hands are pruned. Your face is contorted.
I fail to recall your beauty, as hard as I try.
I move to kiss you.
your lips are dry.
