I know you are no longer living

In my body

Everything repeats the same sad truth

That simple indigestible fact

Yet I am like a child shaking her head

In disbelief

It's only been two weeks

Almost three

Since you were here

Heart beating

Lungs breathing

Feet kicking, arms dancing

In me

I asked for aloneness, this retreat

To be closer to you

To recapture and try again

To come to terms

With what we've been through

Something so vital

Someone so precious

Has been severed from me

I cannot fathom how I am supposed to be

Separated from you physically

Wrap you up neatly in memory

Do anything with this hole in me

That only you could fill

I will never be walking

The way I used to walk this path

Now that I am walking without you
