You Left Your Shadow Between My Ribs

A cycle of poems «Your Kiss Tasted Like a Late-Night Regret»

Flickers fade in the pale moonlight,
Your silhouette haunts my restless night.

I feel the chill where warmth once lived,
You left your shadow between my ribs.

You left your shadow between my ribs,
A ghost that breathes and never quits.
No matter how my heart forbids,
You stay inside where darkness drips.

Your touch was fire, then turned to frost,
A love so deep, but now it’s lost.
I carry weight I can’t dismiss,
The hollow ache of your cold kiss.

I feel the chill where warmth once lived,
You left your shadow between my ribs.

You left your shadow between my ribs,
A ghost that breathes and never quits.
No matter how my heart forbids,
You stay inside where darkness drips.

I try to run, but you remain,
A silent echo, sharp as pain.
In every breath, your name’s a fib,
A haunting trace beneath my ribs.

Maybe someday the light will win,
And shadows fade from deep within.
But until then, this truth forbids-
You left your shadow between my ribs.

So here I stand with broken quips,
Forever marked where shadow slips.
You left your shadow between my ribs,
A love that haunts and never quits.
