These broken wings won’t learn to fly
These tired eyes are too dry to cry
These ruptured lungs won’t make a sound
This broken heart won’t hold me down
These empty words won’t bring you back
Won’t stitch the holes, leave me intact
I miss your face, I need you now
I can’t pretend I don’t know how
I can’t pretend that you’re still here
I can’t feel you anywhere near
I miss your smile, I miss your laugh
I feel I’ve been torn in half
I can’t go on without your light
I can’t can’t see through the dark of night
These tired hands can’t pray to bring you back
These stiffened legs won’t bend, just crack
These ribs make it hard to sing
This battered body won’t do a thing
This tragic life for me will go on
This tragic life with you gone.

I am a mother, a wife, an aspiring writer and my family is everything to me. I can be a little dark sometimes and somewhat twisted as my husband would say, but it keeps things interesting. I hope to write a great book one day. Until then...
