I lay in bad and let my thoughts consume me
The emotions get let in
Heat rises through my cheeks
Chill down my spine
It's just such a shame you couldn't be there for me this time
The familiar sting rushes up my nose
Eyeballs water, tears flood
But this is always the way it goes
The running tracks of each droplet are marked wet on my blotchy cheeks
Lip wobbles
Frown falters
Open mouthed gasping when crying doesn't do the trick
The pain rips my body in two, tugs the heartstrings
Flick flick
The teardrops travel down my chest
Where your half moon, crescent necklace will no longer rest
I pack our memoirs away, pictures, jewellery, postcards, all to be forgotten in the back of my wardrobe
In the broken hinged treasure chest
