Her
I miss her feel
Her breath on my flesh
Her taste on my tongue,
Scent in my nostrils,
Her crooked smile for every joyous moment
Physical difficulties needing a steadying hand
Patients commanded by caring
The vulnerability of her soul
Confused that self- imposed logic isn't an answer
The pain behind her eyes
Over past injustice and tragedy
Striking out at the present over history,
Mistrust festered and hardened
Narcissism at the very least,
Deceiving, betraying, striking first
Preparing herself for heartbreak
Hiding behind a misguided self- image.
I have always known the breach of trust,
Internalized out of a deep love and loyalty,
Knowing the strife
She has caused my life,
The effort needed to put forth to keep her there,
I still miss her in my life.
