I use the term I miss you as loosely as the string I tie around my index finger so that l don't forget to never use that phrase again. Because I miss the person who came with Decembers wind chill not the person who left in June's volcanic ash. Sometimes I wonder if you can feel the ache when you press ******* to where your pulse should be but then I remember that you're most definitely cold blooded. And you can't feel unless you fake it. And I most likely never really mattered like an animal in a cage. But I could've sworn that you felt it. The pain before the punch hits. And the pleasure of me screaming through the lies and the regret. I know I'd listen to your answering machine a million times if your voice could make my ears clean again. But I am not your scapegoat Do you even remember? I think you don't because you would've cared more And you would've been there when I needed you but instead you're stuck upside down. In a car that should've killed you.
