I wish you had given me a necklace

a reminder

to hold something that reaches too deep for words

I wish I had something to remember you by

during these long days and

haunted nights

I wish I had anything other than

fading memories,

something to prove reality

but if I had a necklace

I’d hold it in my hand and

know I wasn’t over you

I wish you had given me a necklace

but then again I don’t

I don’t want another scar,

I want to be a shell

at least then I could float away

on a different current

I don’t want any piece of me to

remember this,

I don’t want anything I am to

remember you

but now I have a heartbeat and

I hold it in my hand and

know I’m still not over you
