Love and Loss

my body left her arms but my mind was never moved

I wonder everyday if she wishes it was the same, if she misses me in a way

I hope she sees the rain and thinks of my eyes the last time I saw her

I hope that there are places she can't go

because something inside her tells her it’s a space for only her and me

I pray that she has realized I am everything

and that my love for her lives and breathes everyday

in the end this is me loving me

my own heart misses my old one

my love falls from my mouth

it sweats from my pours

it's left in my footprints

it echoes from my chest

it will be this way until I lay to rest

and when my eyes are closed

it will seep into the earth around my limbs.


The author's comments:

This is a poem about missing someone so desperately it stains your thoughts. It describes a person who is a lover by nature whom will always love. It reads like spoken poetry and falls on the page until it lands 6 feet under the ground in the end. It flows like the life of a hopeless romantic: caring until they can't.
