A Letter - Hey

My only one

It’s been just a few short days

But I can’t stop the tears

Or the lip-biting

Touching myself

Like you always used to do

Catching a whiff of your lovely scent

On an old sweater

But here again, the sky is falling on me

And there’s less reflected hope in the sun

It’s just so hard, so hard to sleep and wake up

When your name keeps bouncing

And echoing at me off the walls

Oh these damn days, these so long

So long lonley days

They keep on sending me

Awful pictures

Gotta just sleep in

Pretend, pretend not to see

Tomorrow at last

We’ll go to the river

My only one

It’s time to finish this

Keep holding my snapshot

Close to your heart

I am the water that once touches your rough hand

And lingers for all time a soft reminder
