my song

I wake up this morning feeling deeply alone. It hits me first in the stomach, the slow pinch of it, and then it moves higher and higher. I know this feeling comes from your absence. Later, you will tell me how I shouldn't feel this way, that I have friends and family and the unknown future ahead. And i will pretend to agree, I will thank you for your words, for your kindness, for your patience, the tears stinging the lower lid, the holding back and then the release.
