30in30, Day 3: "I Have A Bad Case Of Missing You"


I Have A Bad Case of Missing You

And that pink blouse you bought me;
I have that too.
It no longer fits. There's a hole.
Pink's not my color.

I don't care.

I don't wear it.
I just hold it sometimes,
like a bandage for the bruise
of not having you here.

Sometimes I see someone with your hair.
She tilts her head to one side;
She's a bird, like you were!

But when she opens up and sings,
I never know the song.

T.A.B. 4-3-13

  1. Yes! Very succinct and has the longing, but the excuses, too!
