I thought of you today and the world stopped,
As my heart carved your name on the underside of my ribs.
I feel hollowed out and I’m terrified.
Because, for a moment, I forgot you.
Everything about you.
Even that you’re gone

I remembered what day it is, what it meant, what it means,
Why it sticks out in my mind like some morbid anniversary.
And now I feel sick on top of feeling scared.
Because how could I forget you?
Anything about you?
Especially that you’re gone?
written on the 12th anniversary of my dad's death, 10 February
