Pieces of Me

"Stronger"

Today I feel stronger.
Not quite buckled
under the weight of you-
Or rather your absence.
I don’t feel the pressing need
to text you,
To reach out and see how you are.
That’s not to say I don’t miss you,
I do- terribly.
It’s just to suggest that maybe
your not being here
Isn’t quite so devastating today
as it was yesterday.
Yes, today I feel stronger,
But I can’t speak for tomorrow
just yet.
