Gone, But Present
The bite that once left marks in my flesh,
The pain that previously ached in my bones,
The hands that used to grip my heart so tightly it hurt,
I find myself missing them.
I find myself wondering,
Now what?
What if?
If only?
It seems that you have gone.
I don't think you will return.
And now,
The marks have faded.
The ache has dulled.
And my heart is empty.
But I still feel your teeth on my skin,
I still struggle to move my limbs,
I still feel your love wringing my heart out like a towel.
You may be gone,
But you will always be with me.
