Ugly.

Fat.

Worthless.

The words have penetrated her ears one too many times.

She looked into the mirror,

And was a stranger to the reflection.

The girl she saw was torchured.

Mutated beyond recongniztion.

It was not who she used to be.

It took one swallow,

And she was gone.

He was ten chapters in her book

She was two sentences in his

She thought of him every hour

He thought of her maybe once a week

She loved him

He forgot she existed sometimes

She left the mortal world one day

He went about his life with dry eyes

Most children out-live their parents.

They go through their lives with you,

The solid,

The unchanging,

Always there,

And then one day they realize,

With gripping dread,

While watching others mourn the dead,

That one day they will, too,

And they're not afraid to die,

They're afraid of living without you.

If only I could have one wish;

Just the ability

of psychokinesis.

Then I will attempt to push you

Farther away from my side.

This big old bed

once neat for two

Now sleeps just one

I’m there, not you

No smile, no smell

no talk, no song

Hole in my heart

where you belong

The grass grows long

I visit oft

You’re buried deep

your soul aloft

Fuck I miss you
