Still

Every morning I roll over...grab my phone

I can't wait to see if you have messaged me

then your words invade me, swallowing me whole

 

"You'll never hear from me again"

 

The phone is placed at my breast

where my heart beats...hands holding on tight

as I remember the you that I first met, then

 

"You'll never hear from me again"

 

At least for today, I will hold you in love and light

as I always have...at least for today

I'll be whispering you to me, wishing you were here until I hear

 

"You'll never hear from me again"

 

The morning fades and thoughts of what was

the feelings of what is,  engulf my soul with the touch that is as

soft as a birds feather sweet to the senses...painful remembrance

 

"You will hear from me again"

 

When your life gives you moments of silence

When you allow yourself to remember the freedom to be

When you miss the me in you

When your done swearing at the moon

 

"I'll be here, waiting to hear from you..."
