It's been three hundred and sixty five days, Twelve hours, And eight minutes, And all I've been able to do is try To wrap my head around the fact That it's been that long since you've been Gone.
For months my world was surrounded by Pictures of you, Videos of you, People talking and talking And talking About how they felt about you.
I was always talked over.
The gust has died down But I'm still not over it. "Take a step forward," But there's a fence And I've never been A good climber. Remember the tree Behind your trailer?
Three hundred and sixty five days, Twelve hours, And twenty two minutes. There's a white box here That I'm itching to write in With all the anger and the regret That's constricting my chest, But the words escape me. These are hollow. These are ghosts.
Guess I've gotten too good At keeping it in.
Called you selfish the Last time we spoke. Hell, you hung up on me On Christmas. But there hasn't been a day Where I don't see a child Smile up at their daddy And my eyes don't glance away.
Three hundred and sixty five days, Twelve hours, And twenty nine minutes., And I'm still as sorry as I was The first second I knew.
This doesn't really feel like a poem. I just needed to share with someone. Anyone.
