_{my eyesight is deteriorating
like stepped on leaves,
wet and crunched up
after heavy rain, and
the little girl who picked it up
and stored it in a jar,
on the television, and just a little far away,
can't be seen anymore,
because everything is a blur
and my eyes ache
because it misses the way they helped her see the world.

even though just the thought
of you calling my name,
and waiting for me to reply
just murders any appetite i had left,
i'm the one who's waiting now,
and i feel like i'll never stop and you'll never come and i
eat too much junk food
and my stomach aches
because the door is closed, and the right time is not yet,
and it misses the way the light breeze,
along with slight shallow breaths, and soft wavering touches
would send shivers down her spine.

open windows, and black curtains that don't fly
anymore and i refresh, and click, and call
and wait to hear
but i'm not refreshed,
and nothing's clicking right,
and i rarely ever called out your name,
except
in dreams, and soft whispered declarations of
love while i was half-asleep,
and imagining you there, brushing my hair
away from my face,
and my heart aches
because
it misses the way you helped her forget
and i wish i had super-powered hearing, just so
i could listen to the sound of your voice.}
