"Again, I trace your name in ash; my fingers ache, they spark and stall." This started as a poem and a writing exercise for a creative writing class in college, alphabetizing each line (with one notable exception, leading to the homonym of the title) and a very precise rhyming and alliteration scheme. If you like it, please like, share and comment. Appreciate you. Muah 💋

"You"
🎵
Again, I trace your name in ash; my fingers ache, they spark and stall.
Beneath my breath I curse the crash that came before I had the fall.
Clouds convulse like veins of glass, each thunder strike’s your parting call.
Death would’ve been the kinder clash but silence screamed the loudest wall.
🎵
You, I’ll never get over you.
You, no one could love me like you do.
You, my heart beats only for you.
I’ll never get over you.
🎵
Even now I drink the dare, your ghost is ink in every line.
Fevered nights that strip me bare then sew me back in fractured time.
Guilt is dressed in your despair; I taste your name in sour wine.
Hope is hanging by a hair, this heartbreak almost feels divine.
🎵
You, I’ll never get over you.
You, no one could love me like you do.
You, my heart beats only for you.
I’ll never get over...
🎵
I etched your face on every frame, I danced beneath the burning Raine.
Just like a priest who speaks your name, I chant it out to numb the pain.
Knowing I’m the one to blame, I pull the thread but keep the chain.
Lust and loss are not the same but both still rattle in my brain.
Maybe I’m a martyr made to mourn a war that left no scar.
Nevermind the debt I paid, I spent my soul to chase your star.
Over every lie you laid I built belief but not too far.
Promises in bed we prayed still echo even in my car.
Quirks of fate or cruel design, I see you in the status quo.
Rivers flood this heart of mine but never where they’re meant to go.
Still I carve your name in pine and whisper truths you'll never know.
Tonight I toe that fragile line between obsession and letting go.
🎵
You, I’ll never get over you.
You, no one could love me like you do.
You, my heart beats only for you.
I’ll never get over you.
🎵
Voices in the vinyl spin; they scratch my name into the dark.
Wounds you left still whisper sin; they hiss like serpents in the park.
X-rays show the break within but never why or how to fly.
Yearning’s not a mortal thing; it’s blinking like a butterfly.
Zealots pray for love like lye but never bleed or drink or cry.
🎵
You, You, You, You, I finally got over you.
You, You, You, You, I finally got over you.
You, You, You, You, I finally got over..... U!
