poetry for the broken soul

2. I miss you, a lot.

Hey, uhm...
I miss you,
A lot.

I'm almost there
You know...
The age you were
And it scares me
A lot.

It's like you just left
And I'm experiencing it
For the first time
It's just
A lot.

I wanted to text you
Just last week
I wanted to tell you
About my day
Like we used to do
A lot.

I'm scared for them
Your sister
They loved you,
A lot.

I wonder
What they would do
When they near your age
I imagine
That it would be
Much harder for them
Than it is for me
And it scares me,
A lot

I want them to be okay
I don't want them to hurt
I love them as much
As I loved you
And that is
A lot

Anyway
I just wanted to tell you
That I miss you
I wish you didn't want to leave
But I understand
Why you did
It just sucks
A lot.
