i kept trying to find the right words
nothing came up to the surface
you will stay in the dark
until i can gather
the words still unfound— icebergs pale in comparison to all the words i could say
it burned and it shattered
and it hurt and it felt wrong
the not having you anymore
the seeing you and hearing you
but not seeing you and not hearing you— i want you back
there were days that you felt
like you had chewed me up
and spit me out viciously
like a tsunami wiping everything out— why didn’t you swallow me?
i wanted to keep you
like a little bee in my pocket
but you buzzed and buzzed
and you stung
and then you were gone— we could have been so happy
