Missing you

Comes in big waves

And today, I drown in them

 

How are you?

Have God gifted you angel wings now?

When the time comes, will you visit me?

Do you still remember, how I made you smile?

 

Father,

I have a mind full of unsaid rivers

I have forgotten to take the mask off

All the uncomfortable times we talked

 

Now, I hope you do know

There isn’t any silence in my fires now

I spit them all out, oozing like fountains 

Remembering everything you’ve taught me

Every single tear I held, these poems have shed

 

I have missed you

Like I have missed our yesterdays

Today, someone asked if I know what love means

And all I did was think of how bright you’ve smiled.
