Because I Have Lost
Megan Dec 2016
Because I have lost
The world turns

Because I have lost
I am marked like Cain
Conversations stop mid flow

Because I have lost
I love like Claudio; With a warriors eye

Cost and effect
How much will it hurt when I lose you?

Because I have lost
I live with the knowledge
I have already had the happiest day of my life

Nothing will be pure again,
I will always long for the person who isn't there

Time does not heal
Time numbs

Until a smell
Until a photo
Until a half remembered joke
Until someone smokes the cigarettes you smoked
Until a song comes on that we sang

Until I remember what I'm missing

Long Road Home
Megan Dec 2016
Death is in the miles of road she travels
Blood mixed with asphalt footprints

Tumble **** conversations blow
Through and leave her dizzy as
She stares at a mirage of what should be

She lays her head on a rock to
Sleep and curses the stars
For their light

— The End —
