the thing about leaving

when i left
the things you never said
came in by text form
"i miss you"
"i love you"
"i was on my way to work and looked up at the sky, idk, i was thinkng of you today"

you keep pieces of me
tucked under your rib cage
and even though they might be
tearing you apart inside
i feel a phantom itch
in a void once full

i was never one to lose things
keeping track of my keys
and last weeks lecture notes
to you - my mind my soul and
things i never knew i owned

as i hear about the days
i missed pass by
i feel the weight of
five months late

i wonder if you'll be okay without me
i wish i had never left and i don't want to leave again
