Every DayA Poem by Shon Harvis
I've written you a message,
On my phone or a letter in my head Only to erase it every day As I lay down and cried inside my bed I've clung to the moments The ones that made us laugh Or the times I felt so loved Where finally I felt whole You as my other half Unlike your scent, on the shirt you left behind Your memory doesn't fade Standing in the sunlight, so cold and so frayed I am damaged but not broken Thinking of all the words I should have said Now forever to be unspoken Am I really left to wonder What if? Was it something that I missed? Did you wait for my words? Was I the reason we were dismissed? Oh, if you only knew Just how my stomach feels Every time I think of you How much of my day The pain of your absence steals Or the feelings I cannot erase When I look to my right At the spot that was your place
