La Flora Demise

The thought of your body makes me weak.
Are you going to let me go?
I feel as though I don't exist. I feel unknown.
I feel like another layer to the bed to make you warm...
...in your sleep as I shiver down these thoughts.

You're out again and it's later than last time.
When was the last time we stayed up late?
I'm no longer needed to occupy your time.
I'm just another bloody piece of your gauze.

How could you do this to someone who slaved for you?
I guess it's the price one pays for giving out spare keys.
I sit down and start to wonder who's been filling in.
Don't act sad! It's not like you didn't expect it at all.

One can lose appendages, but have you lost your soul?
I'm numb to my fingernails. I'm cut to the bone.
Peel back the layers to the sheets that make you warm.
You're asleep as I shiver down these thoughts.

You're out again and it's later than last time.
When was the last time we stayed up late?
I'm no longer needed to occupy your time.
I'm just another bloody piece of your gauze
