Calypso's curse

 Maybe one day ill be okay

Listening to our song without tears in my eyes

Recalling our memories without ache in my heart

But right now im driving aimlessly

Wishing I could run into your arms

I couldn't go to you

So I drove to where I felt close to you

That parking lot

Where you held me tight

As I cried thinking of losing you

I keep reminding myself I was happy

I was content before I met you

But now that existence felt like a pale imitation

Of the fiery passion I felt with you

How do I build my home in the ashes you left behind?

When all I want is to build an altar and drop down to my knees

Night and day calling out your name fervently 

Like a prayer hoping you would materialise before me

Consumed with thoughts of you, I built you in my mind, in my imagination you are right beside me

Though he is just a ghost, an echo, without your warmth or glow

But he is all I can keep as the rest of you has already been claimed by another 

Our time together is like rays of rainbow

Unexpected, a little unreal and altogether fleeting

Maybe I share Calypso's curse

To always get left behind

An addictive and heady potion

That is what you are to me

A song that I heard by accident 

And immediately fall in love with

Playing in a loop in my head

That I keep going back to again and again

The only antidote to the burden of my existence 

Your very touch searing my veins 

Yet, your kisses were the balm that soothe the pain 

And when you leave

Your ghost remains haunting me

Preserved perfectly in my memory 

A frozen pocket of time

A snowglobe that I am trapped within...
