I still look for you, everywhere
I still hope to glance up and see you walking,
arms open, towards me
I still long to hear the soft, deep timbre of your voice
I still wish for just one more call from you
I still imagine what you might say…
That you still love me?
I still search my screen for missed messages
you never sent
I still check for you
I still cry for you
I still look for you,
everywhere,
still

Your collar does not surround my neck.
It is not physically there,
Nor is Your hand
Encircling
my throat.
It is not
Tangible
but I still
feel it.
Comfortably
It grips my skin,
suffocates my lungs, and
Tightens in my chest, until I cannot breathe.

This heart bereft.
No longer swelled with promises and flowers
Blossoms wilt as quickly as their sentiment
Promises made earnestly that could never be fulfilled by these changed souls
Confusion, bred by sadness.

You are my sunshine
gifting a rainbow in the
oceans of my rain

He touched me
So I lift my pen,
Roll its familiarity between my fingers
Gently blow the specks
Seeking that clarity of definition
From the dusty drawer
Slammed shut by daily mediocrity
Suffocated in Life’s metaphor.
A muse has stirred within
Sentience no longer blinkered
Searching songs and poets’ prose
Such beauty of rhyme and form
My love of words reborn
Yet few can truly capture those
undefinable thoughts
I glimpse myself
perpetually grasping
clarification
Since he touched me
And so I lift my pen
and write
and fail
and write again

I used to think I knew what it is
to miss someone.
But I cannot think of you.
The instant that I think of you
my stomach twists,
my heart tightens,
my eyes sting.
Not just a thought but
exquisite, undefinable pain.
So I do not think of you.
I used to think I knew what it is
to miss someone but
I cannot miss you.

Never doubt you
I promise
Never doubt me
You promise
I meant it.
And then autocorrect happened.
It sees what I do not see
It remembers everything
Even a girl’s name.

in another life
you would be mine
and I would be yours
it would be
that simple
in another life
your heart would not be
promised to another
too soon
in another life
my heart would be free
in another life
if only
it would be
you and me

bite my lip
pinch my skin and
rip my love fiercely
from within this flesh
grasp my hip
strike firm caress and
undress my lust thirstily
from within this breast
strip me bare
scald hot kisses and
devour my senses blissfully
from within this soul
