if you wonder if I am missing you

you should know

it is constant

an ache that I can’t shake

never diminishing or loosening its grip

it has simply become a part of who I am

like a raised scar never to fade

that my fingers found again and again

peeling back the cicatrix to let you in

and now that you won’t return

it is my reminder, my reason, my rhyme

it is all that is left of you

that I can call mine

 

LL

the blood & the bones
