Spring

I ache behind dark shadows
before dawn
I stand strong in crowds
searching for your voice
I breathe
but
I died when you left
muffle sounds
escape from my pillow
as I can no longer
hold lamented sorrow
bleeding from my soul
my heart
screams
and
screams
and
screams
and
I breathe
and
I die
and
I cry
and
I want to be with you
and
I miss you
and
I need you
but
you're not here
and I remember
Ice cream and laughter
and I laugh
because you were funny
and
I cry again
and
I scream again
and I
breathe again
and I
die again
because I miss you
again
