Makes the Heart Grow
Never realized a lack of something
could be felt so acutely
until every word you did not say
twisted itself into my core
and steps not taken
made me lose my way
small sensitivities neglected
crumbled the soft shell of the security
surrounding my esteem.
If you could watch the hot flame
choke and dwindle
from oxygen withheld
you might have a good idea
what your absence has done
to my heart.
