11/4/11 by Meghan HelmichYou left sixteen months ago
and at times I still feel your eyes on me,
those calloused musician's hands
on my body, without hesitation
or second thoughts.
I still wake up in the dark
and see your shape under the blanket.
I don't cry anymore,
though my stomach still drops
seven stories
when your name comes up.
There are still songs I can't listen to
at full volume,
flying at half-staff in some sort of
mourning. 11/04/2011 Posted on 11/04/2011 Copyright © 2024 Meghan Helmich
