linger

linger
a scent on the fabric
a memory
opening closing doors
hands holding pushing pulling
your body closer to mine
your heart nearly a part of mine
and i would breathe you in
and you would take me in
but now only memories
fading like photos in sunlight
like this scent on the fabric
unlike this scar on my dead heart
that I won't wash away just yet.
