Man Overboard.

Darling, you will be missed so,
you will be loved so,
but maybe someday I will learn how to sew,
all of the pieces of my heart back together.

But not today,
because you seem I am drowning in a pool of sorrow,
behind a wall I have built for myself,
a pool of my own self-pity.

And if you were near,
you would scream at the top of your lungs,
oh, what a scream it would be,
and it would wake all the birds and make them take flight.

I know that I used to reach up and try to bring them back,
but not today,
because I would rather hear the screams,
than never hear your voice again.

Remember when you caught sight of the scars?
So beautiful through my eyes,
just the opposite for you,
so mad at me you were at that moment.

I don't care if you were mad at me right now,
just be here forever,
by my side,
listen to my pain.

Because you were the one that I told,
you were the one that I trusted,
I still do,
and I always will.
