Poem Written September 2021

This is shit.
Life without
You in it.

Your forever
Cut short too soon.
My forever
Into the future looms.

All I feel is loneliness.
It's been a long month
Since I last felt your kiss.
How can I go on like this?

My tears leave tracks
Down my cheeks.
Proof of the cracks
In my heart underneath.

I go through the motions.
Put my mask up.
Push down my emotions.
Lock them inside.

So scared to let them out.
Scared to feel too much.
I want to sob and shout.
But I can't.

Who will hold me tight?
Put me back together
In the night
If I fall apart?

I close my eyes
In our bed all alone
Sending pleas
For you to visit in my dreams.
