I've got shards of you
Down my fingernails,
Under my skin,
Tangled in my
Matted hair,
Sharp, piercing,
Like pieces of a
Mirror, crushed and crumbling,
But still shining,
Reflecting our old glory,
Fragments of an imploded star,
Hot-white beautiful,
They light me up from within,
Aglow with what we
Could have been,
But lash-cut-tear my flesh,
A million tiny pinprick needles,
Drawing spots of blood on
Hands and arms,
Face and fingers,
You've touched, scarred,
Ruined every inch of me,
With your imperfect-perfection,
Your poetry in motion,
And every kiss
Rubs salt and fire,
Burning, into the life-wide
Wound you've left behind,
I'll tattoo over every mark,
A permanent reminder
Of the love and hate and pain and joy
I find in every shard.

You were coming here. We were all excited. Get to be together. And happily ignited. But you had no choice. In the end. You left us all. Without a friend. We had a true story. One I shan't tell.

@ckahn well he goes to Nepal on Tuesday for 9 months so I'm foreseeing a good few weeks of angst after that before I start to cheer up π
@naaviie I guess so! Wait, does that mean my work won't be truly appreciated until I'm dead? πππ
