There's a Scar on My Heart That Does not Heal

Your memory haunts me.

I see you in the shadows of my bedroom when moonlight streams in,

In the empty seat across from mine in the mornings,

In the back yard, playing with our dog.

It's not only me,

But it feels as if so.

Clad in a black dress

Tears would not dry.

It's not fair.

We only knew peace,

A calm ocean with bright suns and starlight filled nights

But we did not expect to see that shore

With jagged rocks and white sands,

Not yet.

We did not expect the wave

Larger than a tsunami

To wipe us out.

And now there is a scar sitting on my heart,

A gaping, open wound

That without you

Will not heal.
