Muscle Memory

Back to the homeland...

I said I love you one day

Just by muscle memory

And I realized what I said

To late

Why have we stopped

saying I love you to each other

It’s been giving me heartache

It’s shattering me like a hammer to glass

Why have we grown so distant

It’s been killing me to see that distance grow

It’s growing like a tumor inside my heart

We still talk but

My brain struggles to comprehend

That together we are no more

We are no more

I remind myself every time we call

With every hello

I bite my lip

We are no more

I remind myself every night

With every goodbye

I torture myself

I won’t say I love you if you don’t

I remember writing my first poems in middle school... it was hell.
