Dear Lost But Not Forgotten
Dear Lost but Not Forgotten,
My ears cease to listen to your voice
There is no sound of your talking because there is no you left to speak
My eyes cease to look at your bodily figure
The one that you have come to leave
Your name ceases to leave my lips anymore
Because there is no longer anything left of you to call out to
My lungs still continue to breathe
But no longer the same air as you
My stomach will stay flat with no baby bump
Because I am too scared of my child ending up as I have
At a loss of their mother
My hands cease to find yours
That have been incinerated to ash
My hips no longer sway to a rhythm
That yours used to dance to
My legs still work
But they go numb and buckle underneath me
When you in your entirety comes to mind
My feet cease to direct me to where you are
Because where you are
I cannot be
No matter how much I have wished I was dead just so I could be there
Sincerely,
Your daughter
