Musical Selection–Location by Khalid

Last night, searching for
Photos, your picture snuck
Up
On
Me

Thought I’d deleted
All of them
Guess I was wrong

It caught me off guard
Pulled a deep sigh
From my abdomen
And buried itself
On my tongue

I tasted you
Your scent filled
My home
All the memories
Jumped into my
Mouth and bore down
In an oasis
Of want

A tear fell
Then another
And another
Soon —
I was drowning
In the essence of
A fake embrace
Remembering what it
Felt
Like

To be
Loved
By
You
