I miss you

    Sing me a song. Hold me close.
Rock me to sleep. Know I am comfortable
in your presence.

    I loved. I cried. I was torn.

Silence befell me. Decades upon decades.
Did you know only one knew how to
find me. Open my hard shell.

    I laugh as I learned all was a lie.
You would have defended but I would have
stood up, silenced your hard words.

    Oh how I look forward to new
chances, new opportunities. Looking to saying
hello to your face. To hug, to hold you.

    Sorry I did not listen. Sorry I
could not act as you so desired me to be.
  I learned my lesson, just as you said I would.

    Everything changed. One blink and
months turned into years. Oh my eyes
slip closed as the light mist hits my
lashes.

    I wanted to tell you so much more, yet
could not remember that it was okay
to open up.

    It took me a while to break down, to
unload. Now emotions explode and are
controlled.

      Writing they exit me.
