Absence
Photo by Yuri Meesen from Pexels.
The absence of a figure leaves a deep
Deep
Hole.
A crater in a mess of tears and self inflicted cuts that is excused as
‘Being mature’
Wasn’t planned or wanted
Just created
With what purpose?
Fast forward in time and the mess is still here, longer than she thought she’d be.
Healed scars, tears that wet her long lashes she inherited from the
Figure.
Acceptance and
Maturity
She knows best.
Wipes her tears
And slides a bracelet over her wrist
A crater
A pot hole
A void
A deep
Deep
Hole.
Rooted in every part of her being.
