I Pack These Holes
I pack these holes
with our memories
our girls letting
me know you’re close
to the door
pheromones fill joy
and we’re high for the night
I pack these holes
with memories
of you dancing when you think
I’m not looking
you’re gorgeous, no exceptions
I pack these holes
because without you
I’m broken
disheveled
moving in this existence
to just exist
I pack these holes
with everything you were
and everything we could have been
an essence
sweet to the taste
with a backbone
strong, never brittle
I pack these holes
with tearless dreams
where bloodshed
happened only in nightmares
I pack these holes
with a simple dream
one day I’ll hear
your voice again
