Daughter's Ghost
Some days I feel so normal--
Like nothing ever happened.
I move from room to room,
Moment to moment,
Like the ghost of her death
Doesn't follow me around.
But I feel her now.
She is the ache in my chest,
The sob in my throat.
The pain...oh, the pain.
It hurts to breathe.
It hurts to BE.
Where is the wall I put
Between me and you?
I would give anything to have it
And keep it forever.
A barrier in my soul,
Firmly placed between me--
And the memory of you.
