affliction
After Us.No words
could describe
what I am feeling
My heart
ached
with every second that passed
knowing that you were
no longer mine
I was probably
too used to
good mornings
and how your sleepy eyes
would crinkle into
crescents
when you smile and say hello
I was probably
too used to
threading my fingers through
your hair
then you saying how fond you were of it
My heart ached with every second that passed
knowing that you were
no longer mine
I was probably too used to
thinking of you
and if you had already eaten
and if you were safe
I was probably too used to
thinking of you, even when
I knew that you weren't
thinking of me
because the moment I
open my eyes,
you are on my mind
you are what fills every
nook and cranny
of my lonely mind
that somehow
sparks up a little
glimmer of joy
in my lonely mind
and even now,
after us
you are still perpetually
on my mind
