Seeing you hurting

The early hours of leaving and being left

I don’t like to see you in pain

And have to avoid it.

You feel so much.

So much.

And I feel you

So, we are in this

together.

And yet very much

in our own experience

of disappearance

and loss.

Where does it hurt?

And how do we be

with this?

I’m scared of making trite remarks

platitudes that we

develop like calluses

to harden our skin

from our soft

core of loving so much.

So, heres to however we

need to go -

as off piste

or regular

as required.
