Give me a word
And I will find a way to make it mean you.
You are so present, in everything,
That the word ‘reminder’ is redundant.

Other words that no longer make any sense;
Perspective
Laughter
Happiness
and trust.

I have no use for ‘music’ now
I think I understand the concept, but
it’s alien, and makes me shudder.
Why would I allow it to enter my ears
And encourage tears?

Kiss.
That’s another one to re-examine.
I can’t recall your kiss,
I try, and my mouth quivers, and implodes
My insides twist
And I’m engulfed in misery.

There are some words I can’t deny, though
I can’t bear to list them here.
