you made me a ghost
(of who i could have been)

March 25th, 2025

its been 5113 days
(give or take a few days)

and every moment
i remember your hands
your touch
rough and unyielding

pinching and pushing and pulling
rough hands on my soft skin
pressing til it breaks

its been 122724 hours
(give or take a few thousand)

and one day i'll forget your face,
and your smell,
and your voice,
but i'll never forget your touch

441797328 seconds
(give or take a few million)

and yet you still haunt me.
