I only miss you on the sad days
The bad days
The ****** days
When the sun doesn't shine
When the waves crash on the shoreline

But never on the days when
I have a home-cooked meal
Or score a good deal
Hang out with my friends
Or when the river crosses the bend
When the sun hits my face
When I win a good race...
so maybe if I was never sad I wouldn't miss you at all.
I am as Icarus as I yearn to fly
I am as Icarus as I touch the sky
I am as Icarus as I want more
I am as Icarus as I love to explore

As I fly close to the sun
My wings that I fly are to be a stun
The words of wisdom are what I lack
The wax that completes melt down my back

As I soar high above
The sky is what I truly love
I truly wished that I could fly
Now my hands touch the sky

When I fall down below
The sun I love truly glows
Only a fall can teach me
If only the sky could reach me

You left me reeling
In the empty feeling
Of a mothers love
Supposed to be felt from far above

Yet you didn’t die
You didn’t fly
You left me and my sister
Struggling to get by

So when I wake up in the middle of the night
Wanting to be comforted by my mother
Wanting to be able to see my brother
I have to tell myself that you are gone

Though dad is great
He is not enough
To fill that empty feeling
You left in my heart
Nora Mittnacht Nov 2024
You called me, fake not by mistake
you hollowed out my heart and filled it with hate.
Therefore, I will not forgive you
because I cannot forgive myself
for the empty feeling, you carved out in my mouth.

— The End —
