Now That You’re Gone

image

It’s like a million needles
piercing my heart
each time
you appear in my thoughts.

You live in memory-
In the past.
But history remains a part of us.
So with me you will stay.

I will always miss
your arms around my neck,
your face against mine,
and the feel of your gentle heartbeat against my chest.

Replacing you is impossible.
And forgetting you is unimaginable.
You will forever be in my soul
and there, you will never fade away.

A Shattered Heart

A shattered heart
Scattered across the floor
Broken apart
Together no more.

Bandaged
Bruised
Broken
And used.

It no longer works
The way it used to.
Now, like a corpse
It is dead, lifeless, blue.

To the ground
It tumbled
Barely made a sound
As it stumbled

Now it lies
Cracked and crumbled.
All out of tries
To recover from this fumble.

Lack of Concentration

Focus.
Pay attention.
Stop wandering.
But I wonder.
What makes that light bulb blink?
Who controls the temperature?
It’s so cold in here.
Why doesn’t he fix his hood?
It’s turned inside out.
I need to leave.
But I should stay.
I just don’t care what they have to say.
Rumble, mumble, stumbling sounds.
What are they saying?
I can’t settle down.
My mind is racing
But I’m sitting still.
Can they see my heart is running away
As I’m sitting right here?
