She disappeared
what seems like eons;
I miss her everyday.
Carefree... flamboyant
reckless and tortured.
She grasped for solitude.
She disappeared
for who knows how long;
but time is running out.
Each day grows shorter,
and I’m no smarter.
I wait for her return.
She disappeared
from body and soul;
for no apparent reason.
She flew up...grew up
and found her airway.
She left me in her wake.
She disappeared
I wailed and puled;
hey wait, it’s me you flee.
But the look of her pain
and the shame in my heart
were really both the same.
She left
and disappeared from sight;
her name scrolled in the sand.
She disappeared
and won’t come home,
til carefree days are here.
