Loss.

april is loss

april is the last time i saw you

in an eerily empty airport,

or maybe i just don’t recall any one else

but you and me

kissing you,

for the goodbye blues

i ran straight to the restroom after checking in

texted you telling you how i felt pathetic for being such a cliche

and you said the note i slipped you 

made you well up in the car

also 

you slipped me a birthday present unbeknownst to me

that goddamn t shirt

I want it to melt into my skin 

so you can never leave me

so i can never leave you

again

april is gone

but hopefully not forever

"that goddamn t shirt
I want it to melt into my skin

I too have been in an airport saying goodbye when I really wanted to tell her to never leave me. That day is in my mind now. She was off to Guam and I stayed behind afraid to tell her what I felt.

Thank you for your revelatory poem. It is very fine.

very sad write, sometimes the best things written comes from the raw.
