Just because a feeling has passed,
Doesn't change the ache in the deeper muscles of my chest.
Its like when I finally exhaled that final breath of you
A sigh of relief that cracked a rib or two.
A mark on my own bones
The way to tell I have breathed out the loss of you.
And I can't tell what hurts more
knowing that I'm there still, inked on your back
Or knowing that you have erased me from every other surface
I would have moved mountains to remain
Just, near enough to still hear the echoes of your songs, in the body of your guitar.
And though we were young, and making mistakes faster than we made friends
I still would not remove you.
I still feel as protective of you,
As the day I first called you my cub
A name, and title that ironically you still carry around.
You have erased our adventure
and who you are becoming is someone I don't recognize
Or respect,
but,
I still hold a tiny place inside of this temple
And send you love and light
Every time you float across my memory
Even though it pains me.
travel well, I hope sincerely that you find what you are looking for.
