the only proof that you were once here

Folder: 
X - Files

alone on this frigid december night I lay listening 
to my heart whispering softly your name
etched deep in my mind is memories of you
pictures of your smiling face from far better times
imprinted in my heart forever is the feelings we once
shared that refuse to die 
echoing incoherently over an over in the empty hallway's 
of the prison in which I live
words I never let slip past my lips 
please don't go 
sadly the scars we left on each other are the only proof
that you were once here

Scars As Evidence

The psyche is scarred, bruised, and scabs form painfully, but healing is the goal. Physical pain is my constant companion and I take an Advil to quiet the distraction, but loss of a beloved for any reason (I buried my only brother yesterday) is what you name "alone on this frigid December night, I lie listening/to my heart whispering softly your name..."
