it feels like it is being crushed..
When my eyes cannot see her,
it feels like they are being plucked out.
When my ears cannot hear her voice,
it feels like boiling oil poured inside.
When my nostrils cannot smell her scent,
it feels like they are stuffed with emptiness.
When my throat cannot speak to her,
it feels like I am being choked.
When her presence does not touch my skin,
it feels like it is being peeled away.
When my hands cannot hold hers,
it feels like they are being cut off.
When my legs cannot walk beside her,
it feels like they are being torn from me.
When my heart does not beat for her,
it feels like it is being pulled from my ribs.
When my blood does not feel her presence,
it feels like it is burning inside me.
When my soul cannot feel connected,
it feels like it is being separated from my body.
And in the end, I realize,
the one doing all this… is her absence.
