Still Here

How is this a break up
When after it
STILL feels like I'm next to u
I wake up from ur scent
That STILL fills ur pillow
And Ur side of the bed
I see the outline of ur body
Perfectly wrinlked into the sheets
Like a chalk outline
Caution: I use around that area
For I don't want to mess with the evidence
Of you being here
I like the thought of u being here
But ur gone
Dead to the relationship
But not dead to me
I STILL feel u here
Tell me why
I STILL rush to be the first in the restroom
As if to beat you there
cause if you get in first
we know you'll take all day
I STILL let the seat down
cause I don't want to hear u fuss
i shower and wash my body
but i STILL cant seem to wash my hands of you
bathroom and mirrors foggy
yet i can STILL see you clearly
is it hot in here or is it just me
I know what it is.....
i can STILL feel THE LOVE
that burns between me and you
I go to use my brush
And I see ur long hair
nestled inbetweeen the bristles
like the memories of  you
that are stuck in my brain
fragile yet tighlty tied in the right way
they seem stay
so what can i say
when i see your hair
there (still) in my brush
All hay wire and frayed like
like Its been in an electrical outlet
I touch it and I'm shocked
(just)As I am when I burn
myself on ur curling iron
That u usually leave plugged in
For I arrive at the epiphany.
This is my karma from burnin u
Everything I'm goin through without u
But
I smile cause any feeling
even the pains associated with you
STILL feel good
