Aches and pains
twisting and turning
this blanket feels colder somehow
this fabric stings just a little bit more
remembering
first moments, kisses in the dark
kisses in the light
disappearing from the world
in each other’s arms
in the presence of one another
laughing until it hurts
loving so it would no longer hurt
she was the greatest part of the day
evening and night
felt good to embrace the love in life
then
harsh spit
filled with blood and silent tears
gums bleeding, swollen lips
pierced skin, scars that will forever live
broken hearts, broken parts
of this house that once was a home
of possessions used as projectiles
glass thrown, bottles and bags aimed
cold nights and even colder days
within the present
exhausted body, exhausted mind
tired of the consistent grind
missing
her, the one who showed love
the one who showed appreciation
consideration and adoration
understanding
she will exist no more
has been gone for a long time
those things which shape your mind
create pain in moments of time.
