the things that are missing

What last was bright, a dream, in eyes wand’ring?

Along, it lies, a scratch in sleep discard

A blanket hides the feel of things. Forward.

You take the answer out of me, cov’ring


A lie, revealed, moving the stained bedding 

You hide the sheets quickly behind old scars

When smiles impact, the force remains, truth marred

Exclaim, the three words now said, commoning


You strike at all of our, once lost, mem’ries 

Dirty bed sheets should be kept at the house

Let’s not rip off the scab—it blossomed old


You sigh, I speak--this ought to be a myst’ry

Thoughts leave, musing, the emotion aroused

Let’s not rip off the warmth when we stay cold
