No More Pleasurable Pain

I see her face in the clouds,

hear her voice in crowds,

I cannot get her out of my dreams,

along with my solitary screams.

The conversation stuck like a scratched record,

trapped in my memory,

choking me like a twisted chord,

stranding me on the sea of humanity.

I try to start again,

but everybody else's smile,

just brings back the pain,

making me feel vile.

I hear her laughter on the wind,

taste her lipstick whenever I lick my lips.

I did not mean to say it,

it just slipped out.

I will never forget the pain in her eyes,

eyes I will never look into again.

I smell her perfume in the air,

my emotions lost on the wind.

Thought we were more than passing ships !

I felt like I was out for a duck in cricket,

I wanted to cry, scream and shout.

No more tender good-byes,

no more pleasurable pain,

no more nights to share.
