#missing
She’s running out of time and out of breath, and the memories are starting to leave her. She says that these things were all she had left, and she doesn’t want to see people prematurely start to grieve her. Just give me one more day, I won’t wish it away. Every night I’ll pray that she’ll find the will to stay. If you’ve never loved you’ve never lost, those angels from above; they come with a cost. She’s got all types of artificial life running through her veins, and yet with all that help she’s still feeling pain. Just give me one more day, I won’t wish it away. When one side starts to sway, I won’t beg her to stay. Well now nearing the end of the race, there’s some decisions one has to face. I’ll take any comfort to keep heart warm even if it’s just signing a form, to give her one last choice, I hear confirmation in her voice. And within merely hours, the tears pour out like showers. Wasting away, and still I want to say “please just stay.” “It’s only May.” “I’m sorry I couldn’t keep this feeling at bay.” “Please just stay.”

A May Day
My sun rose in your eyes the stars and moon they aligned My heart only beat because of you I confess that I still miss your soft, tenderness even after all you put me through I try to find different ways that I could've convinced you to stay I go to all the places we used to Why couldn't you have stayed? Is this another game where I pay? You know that I only love you Tell me ,why didn't you stay? I never loved anyone this way I will do anything you want me to

Why Didn't You Stay ?
I ache for the weight of his hands, his gentle conquest, my weary surrender. The clasp undone, a silent unlocking, and I, frail as dusk, lean into him, his chest a steadfast haven of warmth. Fingers trace the curve of my shoulders, slipping straps cascade like autumn leaves, an ending, a beginning, all at once. His palms cradle me as if I am fragile, a vessel brimming with quiet holiness. Each slow circle of his thumbs awakens, the soft rise, the quiet swell, and I sigh, drawn beyond fatigue, into the calm of his knowing touch. His breath spills against my cheek, words melting into my hair, unheard but understood in the trembling silence: "You are mine; I'll not let go." The hush deepens; the world recedes. Our bodies thread with unseen bonds. I live only in the space of this, the boundless gift of being undone.

The Unraveling of Touch
I miss you like flames in my chest I'm trying my best but I need to see your face and it seems I cannot wait I breathe and catch your scent on the breeze; see your face in people on the street I need you so I close my eyes and once again I can see that soft face in front of me I hear your voice in my mind all of the time So don't you know? I miss you

I Miss You
I miss you in everything I haven't felt before. In every touch, every song, every taste, In every vibration that reaches Just a bit deeper than before. I already miss you when the wind Shakes the whole meadow in front of me. I'm looking for your hand when I'm boiling in rage. I miss you in every stranger, Oh..if you would know, you Stranger. I miss you in every raindrop, In every sip of coffee. Every ripped paper, And in every drop of blood from my veins. In everything that's pulsing, My emotions mounting. Starnger, do you hear me? Do you see me? Can't you reach me? I'm running through the Universe, Catching the wind and talking to stars, I'm reaching for your hand. I'm missing you in every person, Every fade and every ache. I'm searching your taste, your like, your scent, Like a drag path you'd left. 2026.04.

In everything
Because i don't see you very often, I bottle up our time together, like grapes in sunny weather, made into delicious wine. So when the feeling hits me, reaching for the metaphysical corkscrew, taste that memory, with every detail, even the what seemed Insignificant. We're sat in the car, you got raw milk in a jar, but the dates gone too far, throw it into the bin! but that would be a sin, maybe all's not lost, especially at the ****** cost, maybe the cream will be okay? Mmmmm it is, my senses say, satisfied we drive away.

Memory Wine
Five thousand, nine hundred, And ninety point five miles; The distance today which Brought me tears upon smiles I listened intently, Held the phone to my cheek, The tears left my eyes As I willed you to speak Your voice lights such a Special place in my heart, Never want you to stop Yet to hear you is hard My rock, my paternal Connection to the world, Bells chime in my heart, Your voice soothes my soul The words that you speak Full of wisdom and glee, You pull on my heart strings I miss you immensely My father, my world, The one I adore, I long for the day I'll see you once more

The Absence of a Daddies Girl
To my dear friends I’ve never met, Who dared to break my solitary gate, To those still here, and those long gone— Bleeding ink connected us, not phones. I am caught between longing and despair, As though I suffocate while breathing air. Within the furnace, I mend and hide My weary face, my grief inside. For I know nothing of tomorrow, Yet nostalgia softens all my sorrow. Though I dwell in darkness and the void, I wait once more for your voices— To pull me from the endless ocean And guide me home again. JobitaNYC @5232026

Between the furnace
I pray for your moment of weakness When it becomes too much for you When the anxiety gets too loud And your heart is screaming at you And your phone is eerily quiet And your mind keeps begging And the loneliness is overwhelming I pray for your moment of weakness When you finally snap And text me "Hi"

Praying
Sometimes I think of you when I wake up, but not always. Sometimes I think of you when the sun is bright, but not always. Sometimes I think of you when mornings are foggy, but not always. Sometimes I think of you when there’s a chill in the air, but not always. Sometimes I see the light strokes of pen on page and think of your skin, but not always. Sometimes I see the shiny red of your hair painted throughout the sunsets, but not always. Sometimes I hear laughter and wonder if that’s what you would sound like, but not always. Sometimes I think of you, maybe always.

a poem someone wrote for me
Hey Aunt Nina How have you been? I heard heaven was like paradise I can't believe it's been one year since you've been home Oh how it feels so long since you've been gone I wouldn't bring you back for a second knowing you're where you belong Hey Aunt Nina I believe it won't be long until we are standing at those gates Hey Aunt Nina I believe this earth is about to be made new Aunt Nina I miss you and love you but it won't be long before we all are home

Hey Aunt Nina
You have a hold on me One I do not understand You understand me without ever having to touch me My body craves you near me It craves the bond we shared The memories in the cafe The laughter in day The way you make the heart skip a beat I wish we could start over I wish to be in your embrace I wish to be yours again You understood me from the moment we met I remember it all as if it were yesterday You in blue with your curls neatly done came up to me Thought were running through my mind He is cute but he is too young Only to find you are older than me With one of the most beautiful smiles and souls I had ever seen I was captivated from that day You truly amaze me with all it is you do You make me want to be better You push me I wish we kissed after coming from dinner I crave to know what you taste

Camomile
you will go across the gloom // without a torch and the horrors of the night // will be scattered before your bare feet for they have taken from you your clothes, your smile, and your shoes just as they have taken from you // the dread those who did not believe will fear the wrath and flee and their caves will be sealed and the forests will come back to life you will sing and your smile will return the sun will rise and there will be no more gloom

you will go across the gloom
”Eat your veggies you need to eat them to be strong !, Is what i’ve heard from my mother all my childhood. Young, i could not understand, I would not understand. This disgusting green and bland food would make me strong ? Why did she insists this badly, I could hit the gym like these grown up do, But she wouldn’t drop it. However, today, i got it. It was never about the vegetables and their vitamins, But about maturing and being independent. Now..- I still hear her voice sometimes, Telling me, begging me to eat my plate, And I don’t want this to stop, Because i fear that she was right and that i should have listened to her, I am not strong enough to eat my veggies without her. I am forgetting her face, her smile, her eyes, but never her advice, and God how I miss her.”

The Grief
Every so often I traced the crevice That lies within me The rough edges The old indentation Like a bad habit A shameful secret I am scratched and jagged But once again whole Yet every so often My fingers will still Feel around for the piece That once belonged to you

Headache
Huda my love losing you was a new kind of pain but missing you every day has become something worse it sits with me in the quiet in the mornings In lonely nights in all the little things that still feel like they should be ours I still carry you with me in every memory every day every part of me doesn’t want to move on and what hurts the most is feeling it more every day that I may never get to call you my wife again

A new pain
Do you think of me I think of you a lot Before I go to bed I think of you smiling The way you always did Everytime we held hands Everytime our eyes touched Everytime we laughed at a joke together Your smile would shine so bright I would build dreams about you Just to pretend you were still here In my dreams I was home again Not home like a house But in an empty wasteland With only you by my side You and your smile I would be fine dying right then and there Because when they would find my body I too would be smiling And they would know its because I was with you One last time..

Do You Think Of Me
In you I heard an echo of a voice i thought was lost to me A voice that only runs through dreams It anchors my drifting mind A balm to every wound This voice It bends my ear to its sweet alluring tone, Softer than prayer This voice Lifts my face to the sun This voice Nearer than memory One I hoped to hear again when comes my time But that voice can only belong to one, so who is this that I hear in you?

This voice
Begging for one more night back in your arms, After then I can run I can get away from your ticking time bomb of a gun Stuck into my neck Ready to blow me up at any moment Having me run back to you, again. “safe” you could call it - Home if it was built on piles of your words Living on every deception you’ve built from, this lie of a life I call mine. But only then the warmth would smell like ash; As it catches fire through the place entirely. But only then you would blame it on me, explain how I let it burn. Maybe burning was the only way to escape the coldness of your distance I could not outrun. Maybe now the debris can erase every memory of you. Every picture perfect, every signature scent, every piling piece, of you. Only until the gun goes off, and once again I’m begging for one more night back in your arms. When will this end.

Last night in his arms
I should have been at the airport Eating over priced pastries Listening to your “hey baby”’s on the phone My heart should have been so full Of love and things that feel like a drug The rush of your hand on my thigh As the road passes by Where we sang Bon Jovi the last time Instead I know you'll tell me it's time to let go That you don't miss me anymore you're finally starting to feel free So I cry in the shower I look at the token of our memories And hope one day I feel as detached as you do from me

second place
Towers stretching to the sky, made of steel, Sewer smoke and worn rubber in the air, Hot dogs and exhaust and trash under heel, Sirens wailing endlessly in despair, In the restless streets, horns honk and tires screech; As a garbage truck backs into the road, On the sidewalk, a small dog yanks at its leash, A smoggy sky where stars forget to load. My eyes and ears and nose all start to bleed, As I am overwhelmed by its absence; To see my home city is what I need- I seethe and sigh and smell the suburbs' scents.

The Topics of New York
I used to hate school breaks Even the weekends were unbearable Because I missed you so badly I'd crawl to that Monday And smile wide when I saw you show Cheerful for "Oh, no reason!" During Christmas Or the first full week of spring I'd think of you Maybe every ten minutes or so Just waiting for that moment Where I could stare into your back Wishing you might one day stare, too I like the breaks now I hardly ever think of you The world around me is able to glow Finally without your presence

School Breaks
I heard a voice Just like yours I know it's not you I know it's not possible It wasn't the same It wasn't as beautiful But for that moment A fraction of a second My heart felt like It exploded in hope It thought of only you I know it's not you I know it's not possible But for that second Just that moment I wished it was
