it’s a different kind of day without you
I been missing you more frequently
remembering things
you’ve said to me
even when you were mean to me
it warms my heart
I’ve played the part of a fool
no nominations
for my supporting role
no way to control these emotions
anger has subsided
but even when I try to hide it
sadness creeps in
sleeps in the same bed as
you used to
and I’ve been holding on to it
pretending it’s you
wrapping my arms around my pain
and calling out your name
(well whispering )
hoping you don’t hear me
still afraid
that our connection
has not dissolved
praying
that my memory wall collapses
before I decide
to pick up
the phone
and call
