The Shape of What’s Missing

Some loves fade like light through a closing door.

By Anthony ScottPublished 11 months ago 1 min read

I measure my days

by how long I can go

without thinking your name.

Some days,

it feels like healing.

Other days,

like forgetting the lyrics

to my favorite song.

You once said love

wasn’t supposed to hurt—

but maybe it always does,

when it’s real enough

to stay long after it’s gone.
