so this is whats meant by scatterbrained
i miss the way pain feels when your numb
like ice on a sprain, unfeeling to the point
it burns.
i miss the heat the cold brought with it.
watching the trees burn in fall
gave way to a sweltering winter.
we blazed trails across bridges,
we weren't trying to burn them down.
i sit on lonely beaches,
where dark water meets sky
without horizon.
and be it hot or cold,
my naked thoughts run down the beach
they sink into the tide
they swim to find you
a floating cadaver.
another missing person turned up dead.
i miss the way pain feels when your numb,
when a cold body
of water surrounds you.
when limbs are disjointed and comatose.
when thoughts find themselves limbs.
i miss the way happiness feels when you laugh.
when that laugh is the product of you and me
when i gave birth to that laugh, that smile,
that pain in your stomach.
i cant believe youre gone.
i'm looking for you always
i keep trying to go back
but the bridge is underwater
what have we done?
like ice on a sprain, unfeeling to the point
it burns.
i miss the heat the cold brought with it.
