there’s a piece of you inside of me
I put it there for safe keeping
close to the beating pulse of my body
so I can still feel you when you’re not around
your presence envelopes me
your voice soothes me
your touch stimulates me
this piece I carry tightly kept
inside my breath
where no one can see
Sacred, where the she or him
Cannot take it from me
Solid, where the lack or not enough
Cannot waiver me
Protected in this quiet place
that may not actually exist
perhaps only in this prose
where letter meets paper
paper holds truth
truth is what I say
and I say this..
There will always be a piece of you inside of me
Forever.
From now
until the next life we meet.
