With me Often
Always in my mind
I talk to you
of my hopes
challenges
all the big and the small,
drifting inside the ebb and flow
of your proudness and sympathy.
Closing my eyes
I dream of a time spent together
wrapped up in your arms
protected by your presence.
It’s always the best time
with you by my side
I imagine that you see
understand all of what I am,
experienced as one.
Even though it’s just a fantasy,
it comforts me.
For just a moment
I am blinded
from a world
full of false promise
certain disappointment.
Forgetting of how you’re never here
always walked away
leaving me to fall apart
once more,
I speak to you often
in my mind.
