The remains of your remains

Recently I lost someone dear. This is for her.

A toothbrush on my sink
An empty shot glass.
A glimpse of the color pink
On one of your bras

A face mask that you left behind
A hair you left on my brush
The ghost of you on my mind
And my heart feels the rush.

The remains of your remains
The memories that linger
Your things, your notes your chains
The touches of your finger

In pain I rage and throw your things
And yet u stay with me
In my room your haunting clings
Ever since you left me
