Untitled 10-5-10

This nagging throbbing that leaves me breathless
A pain that reminds me of your face
The hot liquid that burns as I swallow
A feeling not unlike the love that I had for you
When your heart left mine behind
There was nothing else to turn to
And so I drank my despair away
But it was never enough to drown you out
I can still hear your laugh, smell your hair
And the tears won't stop flowing
Even now when only that throbbing remains
I'm only reminded of you.

I wrote this the first time I listened to Lee Seung Gi's "Love Taught Me to Drink". It's nothing amazing (not that any of my poems are) since I just wrote it off the top of my head without putting too much thought/effort into it.
