you used to
shine

your smile mends
the folds of my
heart

forever a kiss on my
cheek

your voice wraps
me

your laugh
ever so sad
ever so lovely

and that melody
my heart always
hummed.

but my heart
wrinkled up

and my cheek
ripped open

no voice
no laugh

in the loudest silence.
 my heart
hums a mourning song.
