Missing

Missing

Phantom fingers in my hair

Gently sliding down

A slight touch

Deftly caressing

Longing for what cannot be had

The barriers are too high

The cost, too much

Could the world suffer your loss?

Mine would be no heartbreak

Not even a blip on the radar

Separation is good for the soul

Or at least

That is what everyone

Seems convinced I need to hear

What is your opinion, love?

Justified

Justified

Whatever I was thinking

Believing I was worthy

You wouldn’t even look my way

Now I know why you won’t

Return my calls

You could not even justify

Spending the dime

I admit the rate of return

Is appreciably bad

What is there to keep me

In this barren, fruitless life?

No love, no reason for being

Would the world suffer my lack?

Countdown (168)

If I start a countdown now

That doesn’t make me horrible

It just makes me tired

Sick of the pain and heartbreak

It’s a purposeless fight

Burning through energy

I could use so much more

Time better spent elsewhere

If there is a reason

I can’t find it

Like a vestigial organ

No longer needed

Why should I suffer

If I will never

Bare a mother’s fate?

I don’t need to suffer

To be a woman

If I will never be a mother

As Lady MacBeth said

Unsex me here

Please?
