Imitation Love

My memories of,
your gentle touch, your loving warmth, your tender kiss.
I can still feel my heart aching,
reminding me of love.

My memories keep you with me,
inside my heart,
where you never have to go.
I can't let you go...

Silent whispers, Silent tears.

My memories give me warmth,
burning, they char my skin.
My scars are gone, turned to ash.
Beneath it all I see the truth.

My memories lie.
Your poisonous touch, your cold embrace, your deathly kiss.
My heart in your hand, my blood on your fingers.
Reminding me of imitation love.
