Missing you
Does not come in waves
But instead
In earthquakes
Measuring a 9.0

It starts in my heart
And runs up to my head
Tearing apart the only part
Of my body
That doesn't want to want you.
Anymore.

Your breath stored on shelves
Inside my lungs
Is washed away
With a tsunami off the eastern coast
Of my rib cage

Each valve in my pounding rock of a heart
Is failing
From the avalanche of stories
Roaring down my throat

The natural disaster
In my eyes
Forces me to see
Nothing,
But you.
