I wish there was a way
To explain the ache that I feel
When you are not next to me
It is not the feeling
Of being hollowed out by your absence
Rather
A feeling of skin that has been stretched
Much too far
Sewn together
Bloody at the seams
The dull ache where the thread pulls
The pain of trying to separate
From where we connect
It is almost better
To stay still for a time
So we do not further tear
The infected wounds
Better our joy
Is few and far between
So that we may get used to the ache
Where we are sewn together

I can feel your raw emotions as I read. Love this Sammy.
The graphic descriptions of such raw emotions in this poem are simply incredible. What a masterpiece!
Beautiful. Aptly classified in Surreal.
A very good read
