sometimes it feels nice

to think of you

like the bear hugs

you always did best

and sometimes

it hurts to hear your name

and see your smiling face

and sparkling eyes

in my mind

and it feels like a knife

buried deep in my chest

and every time

someone mentions you

it’s being twisted

and I forget how to breathe

because for a moment

it’s like we just lost you

all over again

and once was enough

to send me crumbling

to pieces

I don’t think I could survive

that again
