double post

how does one lick a wound that simply wont go away?

You, lingering in my mind like the castles that I've built in the sky
twirling forever in my dreams following the shapes and contours of the milky way,
forever caught in a rapture of hearts that will never be mine again.

Overtures of your fingers caressing my face,
slipping through my fingers bringing me endless smiles
forever lost in the treacherous seas of distance and time.
