I am brave

I wait for you

You are a constant thought

As the sun remembers to set and rise

I remember to wear my mask

I mask my pain as the clouds mask the sun

 I mask my cries and quivering lip

Our memories together fade

They only seem like a dream

Come back to me please

I need you.

I need you.

I forgot your voice

I forgot your love

I forgot your face

Do you still match the pictures I see?

Have you changed since our happy memories?

I am strong 

I am brave

I hold it in

I do not wrap for loss of contact

I do not wrap for lack of privacy to our short visits

I wear my mask

I am trapped behind a lying face

This mask was meant for them

"Everything is fine"

My face was meant for you

"Stay with me every time my heart beats"

Your not here

Why are they here!?

You 

Are

Not

Here

I need you
